A member asked:
Is underwear enough protective layer to avoid infections while trying on clothes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: You are not at any significant risk of developing infections by trying on clothing, unless the clothing has been previously worn by somebody with active skin infections, and even then it is very very improbable that you would become infected. Go and get a new outfit.
