hsv 1 transmission?

I am currently going through my first outbreak of oral cold sores. I am okay with the fact that i get them I understand that they are common but I need tips on how to not spread them to other areas of my body. I washed my hands before I went to the bathroom but I touched my pants before I wiped and I'm wondering if it can be spread by infected clothing? if you have tips on how to manage outbreaks please share :)

It won't nw spread by clothing. It is highly unlikely you will spread it to another are of your body. This is very rare. Just regular good hygiene is all you need.
