When should a client consult with a dermatologist?

A client should consult with a dermatologist when they have persistent skin issues because this indicates that there may be an underlying medical condition that requires professional evaluation and treatment. Conditions such as prolonged acne, eczema, psoriasis, or any unusual skin growths need to be assessed by a qualified dermatologist who can offer specialized care beyond that provided in a salon setting.

Managing skin health effectively often requires the expertise of a medical professional, especially when symptoms do not improve with standard care or at-home treatments. Recognizing the need to seek a dermatologist’s input is crucial for clients to ensure their skin receives the appropriate attention and management for complex or chronic concerns, leading to better overall skin health outcomes.
