Skin Lesions, Open Wounds & Sores

 

Cuts, abrasions, bruises, lacerations and puncture wounds should not be massaged or manipulated in any way since contact with these areas could disrupt the healing or infect the wound.  Generally, it is safe to apply massage to a wounded area when the skin has discarded the scab and the wound is no longer at risk for infection.
