How likely is it that someone can get scabies from a massage?
Scabies is highly contagious! I would not recommend such contact unless you want someone else to get it too. If it is you who have it make sure you start the treatment cream as soon as you can, wash your sheets, towels, etc. If you don't know what scabies is think of it this way....it is basically lice under your skin. would you want to give someone with lice a massage?
