Can i get hepatitis c from a small cut during pedicure ?i don't know how well they wash their instruments, thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably low: While hepatitis C can be highly infectious, unless there is visible blood on the instrument, the risk of infection is probably very low but can not be sure it's nonexistent.
