Some people are sensitive to sodium lauryl sulfate, found in some toothpastes.

Just some ideas ...

Hi Lulu, no herpes has not been ruled out. I will book an appointment with my doc and ask.

I have had blood tests in the past when I have had an outbreak and my results are all perfect. And yep, I brush with non SLS toothpaste too.

Thanks for your help
