I've heard several descriptions saying it's ok to kiss or share things when a cold sore is completely healed. What does that actually look like? My girlfriend had one start almost two weeks ago. Scab/dead skin fell off a while ago and it was red for a a few days. Now one looks pink and the other seems to be white like her skin. I'm just wondering if she's still contagious.
6 days is the rule of thumb, although I'm not sure exactly how long the rash is contagious. it is annoying for sure, a good medicine is called "Zovirax" - I used to use it and it worked very well.
