A member asked:
Are you contagious even after herpes on your ear goes away? if so, how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: Herpes is contagious when the rash is present. I am more familiar with the data on genital herpes and that is the rational for treating when the rash returns. I am not sure about ear rash.
