If you have a client with an infection in the beard area, you should:

Shave the client carefully
Shave a different area
Not shave the client
Advise them to shave at home

The correct answer is: Not shave the client

When a client has an infection in the beard area, the best course of action is to refrain from shaving the affected area altogether. This is critical because shaving over an infected area can exacerbate the condition or spread the infection, possibly leading to further complications. It is essential for the health and safety of both the client and the barber to avoid any activity that could irritate the infection or put others at risk. Encouraging time for the infection to heal and potentially consulting with a medical professional can be the best advice for the client. This approach prioritizes hygiene and the well-being of the client, ensuring that appropriate measures are taken to address any health issues properly before proceeding with any grooming services.
