A fever blister is a type of blister that appears near the lip area. These usually show up on the outside of the lip and mouth. This is a herpes virus and once it shows up it can be spread to other people.

Cold sores commonly appear when you are carrying the virus and you get a cold or when your immune system is not at its best. If you have ever had a fever blister then you know how painful it can be, and that it is likely to reoccur, but there are things you can do to prevent fever blisters and things you can do to get rid of them more quickly.

1. Avoid the causes. Exposure to harsh cold or heavy sun for long periods of time can trigger blisters. If you are prone to fever blisters, start wearing sun screen to eliminate the exposure of the inclement weather as the cause of the fever blisters.

2. Eliminate stress - People that have a lot of stress in their life often have fever blisters, so you need to control the stress. Take up meditation and yoga and learn to control your stress.

3. Change your diet - Blisters can also be caused by a diet that is high in saturated fats. Start eating more fiber, fruits and vegetables and stay away from processed foods and you will start noticing that the fever blisters don't break out as often.

4. When you feel a fever blister coming on, put ice on it for as long as you can and do this several times a day. The ice will prevent the cold sore from blistering too badly. You have to do it even before you see the blister, when you first feel it.

5. Use the Aloe Vera plant leaf. If you do get a fever blister take a leaf from an Aloe Vera plant and rub the gel on the blister. It doesn't smell great but it works well. Do this several times a day, especially at night.

6. Apply Tea Tree oil to make it go away. When you apply tea tree oil the blister goes away within a few days.

In the mean time while you are waiting for the fever blister to go away, you need to remember that it is contagious. Do you really want any one else to feel the pain of a fever blister? To avoid spreading the virus, be sure to keep your hands washed, and keep from touching the fever blister all the time.
