Illinois Barber Practice Exam

Cutting or shaving the hair in an infected area can spread the infection or make it worse. It is important to avoid further irritation or damage to the skin until the infection has cleared. Applying a hot towel or using a sharper blade may also cause irritation and should be avoided. The correct approach is to disinfect the area first and then avoid shaving until the infection has healed. It is also important to properly clean and sanitize any tools or equipment used on the client to prevent the spread of infection.
