When is a cold sore lesion no longer contagious? I know herpes can be transmitted regardless, but want to know when an actual cold sore is ok.
How long cold sore contagious? Had a lesion just below lip line 6 days back. Took oral anti virals and anti viral cream for 5 days. Its a scar like skin now. No scab or anything. Am I still shedding or healed?
I dont know if what I have is a cold sore. If it is, its pretty close to healed because its flat and theres no more scabbing. But it never hurt so Im not sure it was a cold sore, and I want to be safe and not give my bf herpes if I kiss him.
If you have conracted herpes what are there any other symptoms that you may show if you dont get a cold sore with open lession and scab?
If you have a cold sore does that mean you have herpes? Is it the contagious kind of herpes?
