Skin SciencesPregunta 45 de 100
During skin analysis the esthetician notices a mole with irregular, notched borders, uneven color, and a diameter larger than a pencil eraser that the client says has recently changed. What is the correct action?
a.Remove the lesion with a comedone extractor
b.Apply a lightening product to even out the color
c.Avoid the area, and privately advise the client to have it evaluated by a physician without naming a diagnosis
d.Perform microdermabrasion over the area to smooth it
Explicación
Asymmetry, irregular borders, color variation, larger diameter, and recent change are warning signs that require medical evaluation, and the esthetician's role is to avoid the area and encourage the client to see a physician without diagnosing. Removing, lightening, or abrading a suspicious lesion is both outside scope and potentially dangerous.
