A member asked:
Can you tell me if a male friend of mine has cold sores near his mouth, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
General precautions: Don't kiss him or have other intimate contact with his mouth. Don't share drinks or cloth towels that touch the face. Otherwise, treat him like a friend so he won't be so self-conscious.
