If a client requests the removal of hair from a mole, what is the appropriate action?

Consider removal as a special case
Refer them to a dermatologist
Do not remove, as it violates regulations
Suggest a topical solution instead

The correct answer is: Do not remove, as it violates regulations

The appropriate action when a client requests the removal of hair from a mole is to not remove it, as it violates regulations. Moles can be indicators of skin conditions, including potential malignancies. Estheticians are not licensed to perform procedures that may involve altering or interfering with such skin formations. Removing hair from a mole can pose risks of skin irritation, infection, or even trauma, which could lead to complications if the mole is atypical or potentially cancerous. Consequently, estheticians must prioritize client safety and adherence to legal and ethical regulations by refraining from performing such procedures on moles. Instead, the appropriate protocol would involve referring the client to a qualified dermatologist who can assess the mole properly and advise on potential hair removal if deemed safe and suitable.
