What are the chances of spreading cold sore if while washing hair water trickles down from lips down to body and genitals? no oozing but im new to this and i dont know how this works. being losing my mind on this?

Zero risk. People are immune to new infections anywhere on the body with the HSV type they already have. Nobody with oral herpes (cold sores) ever gets genital herpes as a result -- never. Your oral herpes probably is never going to be a health problem for you or anyone else. Just avoid kissing or performing oral sex when you have a cold sore. That's all.
