A member asked:

My husband has herpes on a lip that is almost gone but he still kisses my son ona cheek or neck is it safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cold sore: Cold sore is infective during first 2-3 days. Risk of spreading it is low when the lesions dry out and become crusty. I however recommend avoiding kissing or close contact until it completely resolves.
