A woman is speaking out after she was diagnosed with stage 1 skin cancer caused by a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection - following a manicure at a salon. Mum-of-three Grace Garcia, 50, developed squamous cell carcinoma around a deep cut on her cuticle made by a nail technician.
In November 2021, Grace visited a new 'fancy'-looking salon in California, US, but during the treatment, the manicurist slipped and injured her. Grace told Today: "She cut me, and the cut wasn't just a regular cuticle cut. She cut me deep, and that was one of the first times that happened to me."
