Scarleteen

Hi! I was wondering how long cold sores are most contagious for? I had an outbreak and they're no longer in the yellow oozey stage, now I just have clear/white flakes where I applied medicine. Obviously I want to be considerate before kissing my partner or something. I tried looking at other websites for answers and didn't really find any.

You just want to wait until the point where you have recognized your sores as all healed up. And you also want to just check with a partner, by asking, about what they're comfortable with.
