Possibly but: While it's possible if the sore was open and if you had an area of skin breakdown on your hand where it contacted the sore. Realize though that if there wasn't obviously blood or fluids from the sore and an obvious cut on your hand, where it contacted the sore, the risk would be exceptionally low.
