Contact with Cold Sore
Hello, I have a quick question. My daughter has a cold sore that has a small scab on it. Tonight she rubbed her mouth on my upper arm. I did not see any open wounds or scratches on my arm. Could she have given me herpes on the arm? I have a newborn so I'm just trying to play it safe. My mother gets cold sores so I figured I might already have it but I just want to protect the baby as much as possible. Thank you!
this isn't a risk for you.
