Can You Get Cold Sores inside the Nose?

Posted By Leila (Wi) on 12/06/2016

I have a question about cold sores and my nose and ears. I definitely also get mini very mild cold sores closer to my cheeks, but sometimes I get an itchy, then acne in my ear, and for a very long time I have had itchy itchy itchy inner nostrils and I wonder if anyone knows if that's herpes virus can be in my nostril? And maybe I need to treat that in order to really cure it and cure the infection which erupts most commonly by my lip.

Yes, I get them in my nostrils now and again. They don't seem to blister up as much in there.
