I had a client this morning where I had to not do her pedicure as I suspect quite a bad case of fungal nail infection. This is the first time I've actually ever had to refuse to do a treatment and I suggested to her to go to her GP to get it checked out.
But I guess I'm just after some reassurance that I did the right thing and my suspicions could be correct?
All her toes were quite yellow but both big toes even more so. I have yellowish big toes so I know this can be down to trauma or not using base coats with polish etc.
But in particular her left big toe nail is almost completely detached from the nail bed and if you tap on the nail it sounds hollow.
Also with this nail, if you are looking at the underside of the nail, the only way I can describe it, is there looked to be scrolls of flesh I guess, so lines of curled up soft tissue if that makes any sense? Sorry, struggling to describe it.
I couldn't take a picture and can't find an image of anything like it online to give as an example either.
She was adamant that her toes were fine, they've been like it for years but I stood my ground and said once she's been to her GP and had it checked out, if all was ok then we could re-arrange her appointment.
Was I right do you think?
