How can you tell the difference between herpes and mouth ulcers normal? Firstly, what is "normal" about mouth ulcers? If they are in the mouth, they are not herpes of any kind. Herpes 1 is what causes "cold sores" around the mouth - if one of the antiviral medicine clarify, is what it is (ask the pharmacist). Herpes 2 is sexually transmitted and sores around the genitals explode (around the mouth as oral sex). Stuff OTC, will not touch - can not be cured and can be controlled by requirements such as Zovirax. Sometimes there is not all households - a "carrier" can pass without any symptoms, and millions of people have herpes 2 and no outbreak.
