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.
Can I masturbate and wash down there normally now that white core is out or should I wait untiln complete healing?
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.

Any other input from anyone?
I would say yes but to be honest I'm not 100% sure of that.
Does the core being gone count as being cleared?
sorry about that typo... if they are cleared you can NOT spread them =)
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
