I had my first (and second) oral herpes outbreaks a couple weeks ago and I just have a few questions
1) if i touch a cold sore the accidentally touch myself down there, will it spread as these outbreaks are the first?
2) is it safe to masturbate with a cold sore? how long should i wait after a cold sore has gone away to do so? is there still a risk if i use a vibrator with my pants on?
3) how long after a cold sore has healed is it safe to touch the area and not be worried about spreading it?
4) can it spread to other areas of my face/body while showering/washing my face?
