What should be done if a client is allergic to a product?

When a client is allergic to a product, the safest and most responsible course of action is to discontinue use and consult a doctor if necessary. Allergic reactions can range from mild irritations to severe symptoms that may require medical attention. Discontinuing the use of the product prevents any further exposure and potential escalation of the allergic reaction.

Consulting a doctor is also important, as they can provide professional medical advice and treatment options, especially if the allergic reaction is severe or persistent. This approach prioritizes the health and safety of the client and ensures that they receive appropriate care.

While switching to a different brand or testing the product on a small area might seem like alternatives, they do not adequately address the immediate health concern posed by an allergy. Continuing to use the product, even cautiously, can lead to increased adverse reactions and is not a safe practice.
