Cold sores probably have 'cold' in their name because they may be triggered by colds, but they are caused by a completely different virus (called Herpes simplex) from the ones that cause colds. Cold sores can also appear when you get sunburnt or are sick. Hormone changes (such as when a girl has a period) or feeling stressed can also trigger cold sores.

Interventions for treating oral leukoplakia to prevent oral cancer | Cochrane
People with oral leukoplakia are at higher risk of developing oral cancer than those with normal oral mucosa. This review, produced through Cochrane Oral Health, seeks to evaluate whether people affected by leukoplakia can benefit from surgical, medical or complementary treatments, either local or systemic. In particular, we conducted this review to find out which, if any, treatment is able to prevent people with leukoplakia of the mouth from getting oral cancer. This review updates our previous review published in 2006.
