Sister Wives question

What is on Robyn's face under her lip? A scar? Cold sore that's always there? The herp?

Re: Sister Wives question

  • I've tried finding it in online pictures and it's there sometimes but not others. Dirty spit swappers. Or other things. Ick!

  • I have noticed it too, I think it is a cold sore.

  • Even my H wondered why they'd tape her like that when he walked through the living room while I was watching it. It's nasty. I vote herp.
    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • Isn't a cold sore and herpes the same thing? My SIL gets them when she's stressed and when she was pregnant she always had them (decreased in imune system).

    That's what I thought. Just different strains.  

    I thought they were the same exact thing, just different names.  There's herp 1 (oral) and herp 2 (genital), so those might be the different strains you're thinking of.  However, you can get genital on your mouth and vice versa.

    Very interesting. And according to herpes-coldsores.com you are spot on, Sibil.

    Gross.

    Here's an explanation: The herpes simplex virus usually lives inside the nerve cells of the body without causing any problems. But from time to time it may flare up and cause cold sores around your lips and mouth.Or it can travel down the nerves to the eye and cause a flare-up of herpes infection there. To understand how herpes simplex eye infection can affect you, it helps to know about the different parts of the eye.

    Yep your right. Simplex 1 and Simplex 2.  I can't remember which is which though.

    See my previous post.  The different strains usually differentiate between genital and oral strains, not between "herp" and cold sores.  Those are the same thing.  Also, genital and oral (herp simplex 2 and 1 respectively) can actually occur in either location.

    I knew this I just couldn't remember which strain was which. And I know they can occur in either region. I posted before I had read your post as well so its not like I was discounting your knowledge.

  • I wondered the same thing.  I even paused the show to get a long look.  Gosh I need a life some days!
  • So I wonder if they had to have a group discussion if Robyn already had it before they got married. Did Kody have to sit down with the other wives and say " I would like to marry Robyn but she has cold sores, and will might all get them. How do you feel about that?" ? That would be one  awkward conversation.
