Reply to comment by allnamestaken1968 in The amount of people that do not know that a cold sore is herpes is surprising. by BellyScratchFTW

These sores that can lead to genital herpes, are they cold sores, or canker sores? I’m not quite clear on the difference. Some are on the outside of your lips, the other on the inside of you cheeks/gums?

Which one can be transmitted as genital herpes?

Seems to be some confusion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/10pjlib/the_amount_of_people_that_do_not_know_that_a_cold/j6ky6h1/

The outside one is cold sores (herpes), canker sores are fine.
