Is it ok to pedicure a client with lots of warts?

Dr. Rich: Diagnosis of skin lesions based only on a description can be a dangerous sport. While there are numerous things that meet your description, the first thing that comes to mind is a variant of seborrheic keratosis called “stucco kertosis” because the nodules look a bit like someone spattered stucco on the skin. They are harmless, come by the hundreds, appear as we age, and can be treated by freezing or even scraping or filling, but they almost always come back. They are not contagious. The tendency to get them is often inherited. Warts would be less likely but possible, and some skin rashes like psoriasis could have that appearance. Her doctor should be able to diagnose the condition and help her manage it. Don’t work on the skin until you know for sure.
