What should you do if a client reports a history of skin conditions?

Consulting with the client about their condition and potentially referring them to a dermatologist is the appropriate response when a client reports a history of skin conditions. Engaging in a discussion allows you to understand their specific issues better and provide tailored advice regarding tanning. This approach demonstrates a commitment to the client’s health and safety.

Moreover, suggesting a referral to a dermatologist is significant as it allows the client to receive professional medical advice concerning their skin conditions. Some skin conditions may contraindicate tanning or suggest that particular precautions should be taken. By involving a specialist, you ensure that the client is informed about potential risks and treatments.

While considering other responses, ignoring the client’s concerns can lead to adverse effects on their health and potential liability for the tanning facility. Advising them to avoid tanning altogether might be unnecessarily restrictive without understanding the nature of their skin condition. Limiting their exposure without consulting them or a professional does not provide a comprehensive approach to their health and wellbeing.
