Abstract
Oral herpetic lesions are painful, disfiguring, and highly contagious. The key for physicians is recognizing these lesions and helping patients minimize the risk of transmission and recurring infections. Active patients, especially those in contact sports, should know how to treat recurrent infections as soon as they feel prodromes.
