Would you worry about a cut from barbers clippers?

Is this a risk for blood borne diseases? Should I be worried do you think?

No. They would have to have cut someone else with the same clipper head; not disinfected them, which they do after every cut, and also that same random have a blood disease. Even then, it’s pretty slim.

Stick some TCP on it and get some rest.

(But just so you know, this would also have stressed me out massively so I don’t blame you for worrying)

Thank you. I appreciate your reply. It’s for my teen ds so always more stressful if it’s dc. He has a mole on the back of his neck and it’s the second time it’s been caught by the clippers. I think I will speak to doctor to see if it can be removed.

There's been a surge in ringworm and infections from barbers - due to poor hygiene with barbers not thoroughly cleaning their equipment between customers.
The skin fades that are v.popular use a foil shaver that is so close to the skin it removes some, and exposes it to being infected.
