A contraindication is a condition is which massage should be performed with caution, or avoided completely until the condition improves. Sensitive skin is not necessarily a contraindication in and of itself, but it may be a symptom of a condition that may be a contraindication. Some possible conditions could be: eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, etc. It is best to check with your doctor to rule out any other possible causes for the sensitive skin.
