A guest at the hair salon i work at had a huge bump on the back of her head that ruptured when she was getting her hair washed - she doesnt know what it is but could it be contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not if you washed well after the episode and you have no open sores, eyes and mouth were protected.
