Dear Practo User.
Thanks for sending across your query.
Using a shared alum stone can carry a small risk of infection, especially if there are open cuts. While the risk of serious infections like hepatitis or HIV is very low, it's best to monitor for signs of infection. If you're concerned, a basic blood test offers peace of mind
