About the Course
Since a cosmetology professional works with aging clients over a period of time, they may see changes in the nails and skin. Some changes in the nails and skin indicate that conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, fungus, and diabetes could be present. It is important for professionals to recognize changes in clients’ nails and skin and be familiar with the different conditions that may be present. Recognizing symptoms of a possible disease or condition can improve how a skin care or nail service is provided to the client.
