Topic: Early identification of skin cancer
Dip Health and Skin Care (Isa Carstens Academy)
Abstract:
Why is a Somatologist talking about skin cancer?
Skin cancer is a medical condition that falls outside of the scope of practice for treatment by a somatologist or dermal aesthetician. However, the therapist forms part of the first line of defence for a client through the initial detection and possible identification of potentially harmful lesions on the skin.
A Somatologist and dermal aesthetician is trained extensively in dermatology, including the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the skin. This knowledge provides the therapist with the skill to recognise when a lesion does not seem ‘normal’ and notify the client in an appropriate manner.
