Which combination of signs indicates medical referral?

• A. Severe inflammation with fever, rapid lesion changes, or suspicious skin growth
• B. Mild redness only
• C. Normal skin
• D. No signs

Answer: (A)

Signs that require medical referral are those that point to potential infection, inflammation, or a serious skin condition. Severe inflammation with fever, rapid changes in a lesion, or a suspicious skin growth are red flags because they could indicate infections like cellulitis or skin cancer, and urgent medical assessment is needed before any beauty treatment can be considered safe.

Mild redness by itself is common and can occur after irritation or cosmetic procedures, but it doesn’t by itself signal a medical problem. Normal skin or no signs clearly indicate there’s nothing needing medical input.
