Can someone still do massage therapy if they have a wart on their hand?
Hello, Thank you for the question. Without seeing your "wart" I can not be sure that it is what you indeed have. Warts are caused by a virus. They are usually spread through breaks in the skin, and not everyone who comes into contact with the HPV virus will develop warts. They are especially contagious for people who have weakened immune systems. Sometimes warts go away on their own, however, in your specific case I recommend that you see a dermatologist to get your wart treated so that there is no chance that you can spread a wart to your clients. Thanks
