if they are cleared up then you can spread them, if you have any still linguring then you can still spread them
I'm sorry but you put "can" in both of those situations. But does the core being gone count as cleared?
sorry about that typo... if they are cleared you can NOT spread them =)
Does the core being gone count as being cleared?
I would say yes but to be honest I'm not 100% sure of that.
Any other input from anyone?
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.

Can I masturbate and wash down there normally now that white core is out or should I wait untiln complete healing?
yes you can masturbate - just wash your hands afterwards. no reason to wait unless it would be painful to masturbate of course.
Should I consider the infection gone since the white core is gone?
you can consider it gone when it doesn't reoccur in 2-3 months.
