Haircut during the festival for medical reasons
Question
Due to an infection on the facial skin, I am using a specific dressing, and for the treatment, it is necessary to shave the beard in that area daily. Is it permitted to shave during Chol Hamoed?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permitted to shave during Chol Hamoed for the treatment of the skin.
Wishing you a complete recovery and a joyous festival
