At the end of the session, the learners will be able to:
1. Identify conditions that may stop or change how the hands and nails are treated.
2. Enumerate possible reactions that may happen during or after the hand and nail
care treatment and the action to take.

Introduction:
As a nail technician, you must be fully aware of your client's condition before
performing any treatment. Not all types of treatment are suitable to each and every client.
You must know how to assess your client's present condition and recommend the proper
treatment fitting to his/her state. Failing to do so may result to worsening ones nail state
instead of making it better.

Identify conditions that may stop or change how the hands and nails are treated

Conditions that may stop treatment: Fungal nail/skin

infections, bacterial nail/skin infections, viral nail/skin infections,
severe eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, open wounds, cuts or
abrasions local to treatment area, bruising and nail plate separation
(know when to seek medical advice).
Fungal nail infections are common infections of
the fingernails or toenails that can cause the nail to become
discoloured, thick, and more likely to crack and break. 
A fungal infection, also called mycosis, is a skin disease
caused by a fungus. There are millions of species of fungi. They live
in the dirt, on plants, on household surfaces, and on your skin.
Sometimes, they can lead to skin problems like rashes or bumps.
 Conditions that may change treatment: Minor eczema,
psoriasis or dermatitis, damaged nails, dry overgrown cuticles, cuts
and abrasions, bruising.
Examples of contra-indications that may prevent treatment:
Fungal nail/skin infections, bacterial nail/skin infections, viral nail/skin
infections, severe eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, open
wounds/cuts/abrasions local to treatment area, nail plate separation
(know when to seek medical advice).
Examples of contra-indications that may restrict treatment:
Minor eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, damaged nails, dry overgrown
cuticles, cuts and abrasions, bruising.

Importance of recognizing conditions that may stop or change a hand and

nail care treatment

Importance of identifying conditions: To avoid cross-infection

and making the condition worse.

Possible reaction: Allergic reaction Action – removes the

product immediately, wash hands, apply a cool compress, and seek
medical advice if symptoms continue.

irritation or swelling (remove product, apply cold compress, seek
