Scalp manipulations include common hair treatments like massage, combing, and brushing. It is important not to perform these if there are any potential irritants present on the scalp, such as abrasions. This is because any manipulation on the scalp could aggravate the abrasion and potentially cause pain or further irritation. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not pose a direct risk to the scalp and therefore would not pose an issue when performing scalp manipulations.
