A member asked:

If i have a cold sore on my mouth will it spread to my eyes or private parts if i touched my cold sore and then my eyes/privates after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: cold sores are caused by HSV1 and can be contagious. Genital herpes can also be transmitted. I would advise abstaining and getting a viral culture of your cold sore.
