Herpes Labialis Epidemiology Forecast 2025-2034

Approximately 3.8 billion people under 50 (64% of the global population) have herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which is the primary cause of herpes labialis (oral herpes or cold sores). HSV-1 is primarily spread through oral contact and affects the mouth area, but it can also lead to genital herpes.

Herpes Labialis: Disease Overview

Herpes labialis, commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters, is a viral infection that affects the skin around the lips, mouth, and occasionally other areas of the face. It is most often caused by HSV-1, though HSV-2 can also be responsible. The virus is highly contagious and spreads through direct contact with an infected person’s skin or saliva. Symptoms include itching, tingling, or a burning sensation around the lips or mouth, followed by the appearance of small, painful blisters.

Herpes Labialis: Treatment Overview

Antiviral medications like acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are commonly prescribed to treat herpes labialis. Topical creams such as docosanol (Abreva) can help manage symptoms, while over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be taken to reduce discomfort. Topical anesthetics (lidocaine) are used to numb the affected area. Suppressive therapy (daily antiviral medication) is usually recommended for patients with frequent outbreaks.

Epidemiology

The herpes labialis epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for herpes labialis by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for herpes labialis and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• As per the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 3.8 billion people under age 50 (about 64% of the global population) are infected with the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
• Studies show that up to 90% of people worldwide are infected with at least one form of herpes simplex virus.
• It is estimated that by adolescence, 62% of Americans have HSV-1, and by the time they reach their 60s, nearly 85% are infected.
• It is reported that roughly 70% of the population in the United Kingdom is affected by HSV-1.

Country-wise Herpes Labialis Epidemiology

The Herpes Labialis epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of herpes labialis varies significantly between countries due to differences in the prevalence of HSV-1 infection, cultural practices, healthcare access, hygiene habits, and social behavior, among others. In the United States, over half of the adult population is affected by oral herpes.

Scope of the Report
