My cold sore came back after a stressful week, normal?

Question

Had a brutal deadline week and a cold sore appeared right after. Is stress really that strong a trigger? It seems like every time my stress spikes, a cold sore follows. How do you manage stress triggered cold sores?

Great question, and you are not alone with this. Catching the trigger early is where most of the difference comes from.
