Can you spread a cold sore when its above your lip and not touching it?

The cold sore virus is usually localized, once it breaks out some where it doesn't usually spread to other places. You would have to touch the sore and with in seconds touch another area of your mouth in order to spread it.
If you have to touch a cold sore wash your hands or refrain from touching other parts of your body like your eyes or genitals for a while.
