Question regarding MC

My MC is clearing up. For awhile I've been worried about even touching the bumps while in the shower for fear of spreading them. I got the bumps frozen a couple weeks ago and no new ones have came up, however, the treated ones are still healing. The white inner core is gone and the bumps are trying to return back to normal skin. I have OCD and wash my hands vigorously since these MC have occured; however I would love not to do so. Since the white inner core is now gone can I return to showing normally and not worry about spreading them and having to wash my hands vigorously after touching them? Please and thank you.

you can consider it gone when it doesn't reoccur in 2-3 months.

Should I consider the infection gone since the white core is gone?

yes you can masturbate - just wash your hands afterwards. no reason to wait unless it would be painful to masturbate of course.

it's really not a reason to obsessively wash your hands from this. Just washing your hands as you normally would do after you use the bathroom or masturbate is all you need to do.

I would say yes but to be honest I'm not 100% sure of that.

Does the core being gone count as being cleared?

I'm sorry but you put "can" in both of those situations. But does the core being gone count as cleared?

if they are cleared up then you can spread them, if you have any still linguring then you can still spread them
