This is not true. The Earthâs movement around the sun has very little effect on the onset of seasons at either hemisphere. In fact, the Earth is at the Perihelion or closest to the sun around the winter solstice, while the earth is farthest away from the sun or at the Aphelion around the summer solstice.
How long do cold sores last? From the time of the first tingle, a cold sore will take between 7 and 10 days to completely heal - sometimes up to 14 days. Each cold sore goes through several stages before it disappears. In the vast majority of cases, the sore will heal without scarring.
If the sore has already erupted and is beginning to scab, use an over-the-counter medication like Abreva to help ease symptoms and reduce redness. Cold sores typically last 7 to 10 days, so it all depends on how early you catch and treat it, says Dr. Welsh. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex 1 virus and don't pop up unless something triggers them -- usually stress or overexposure to the sun.
