Ringworm- A fungal infection giving a ringlike appearance
Cuts/Abrasions- small cuts can be covered and treatment then carried out at the discretion of the therapist. Large cuts should be allowed to heal before nail treatment can take place.
Swelling-Swelling can be caused by accidents and infections. If the client has an infection, the nail tech can refer the client to their G.P. before nail treatments.
Redness-. Can be caused by hot, cold, infection, and a reaction to chemicals Treatment depends on the comfort of the client.
Most of what I have listed are highly contagious.
The best rule of thumb is if it doesn't look right to you as the tech recommend they see a doctor,have them come back with a note.
Your clients will respect you for the professionalism and concern.
