If neuropathy spreads throughout the body and becomes out of control, even a small scratch could become infectuous and the body's healing process may cease to function.
It depends on what is causing your neuropathy. There are a number of conditions and toxins that can cause neuropathy. For more information use the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathy
