Excellent advice @loribmt (and I like your transplant team's joke about the hangnail!) . Speaking about hangnails, do you think a manicure at a reputable, clean salon would be an okay thing to do? I wouldn't do it during covid, but I would like your thoughts for the future!

Oh man…you love to ask the toughies!! LOL. I would say if it’s a reputable place and you have confidence in their sanitation and sterilization then maybe??

Honestly, I avoid those places like the plague. Anytime the cuticle is removed there is the opening for bacteria. At this time, it’s on my no-no list along with acupuncture which is killing me!!! I miss my sessions.

But my gosh, so many of my friends who are immuno compromised have weekly mani-pedi’s and do just fine. My advice is to be mindful of sterilization. I have one friend who purchased her own pack of instruments and has them sterilized and used only for her. Little chance of cross contamination that way. Just a thought…
