Can a cold sore spread if i wash my face? i get one on the columella of my nose. if i shower/wash my face, will it spread by water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Good question and the answer is yes. However alot lower if washing that act is removing the virus and the cells that get infected. Now touching your face after the sore would be a mechanism of spread.
