Nail conditions/disorders/infections

[Lemmonie]

Just talking out loud really but does anyone else think that really they are probably better at diagnosing a nail condition than a GP?

Now im not saying that i would diagnose a client because it would go against my training and moral responsibilities but i reckon most nail techs worth their salt could better diagnose a condition than a GP.



Discuss! :lol:

Yes we can, (just like Bob the builder), but legally we can't.

I send people to doctors with notes voicing my suspicions, I've had a few calls back too respecting my opinions. I've done under nail scrapes to be sent off for diagnosis ..........

I even have some interesting home remedies that I have proven over the years (but that's another story).

Legally you have to send them to the docs.
