This theory-based module introduces you to the wide range of skin conditions you may encounter in your career. You’ll learn how to recognise viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, infestations, and non-infectious disorders like acne, pigmentation issues, and allergies. We’ll also highlight which conditions are contagious and when to refer clients for medical care. By understanding the signs, causes, and precautions, you’ll gain the confidence to maintain hygiene, protect your clients, and make informed decisions in the salon.
