Infection control
Abnormal pigmentation
Skin hydration
Sunburn

The correct answer is: Abnormal pigmentation

Dyschromia refers to abnormal pigmentation in the skin. This term encompasses a variety of pigmentation disorders that can manifest as discoloration, which may include hyperpigmentation (darkened areas) or hypopigmentation (lightened areas). Dyschromia can result from various factors such as hormonal changes, sun exposure, genetics, or certain skin conditions. Understanding dyschromia is crucial in the field of esthetics, as practitioners often encounter clients with pigmentation issues seeking treatment options. Identifying and addressing dyschromia can play a significant part in an esthetician's role in promoting skin health and achieving the desired aesthetic outcomes for clients. The ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal pigmentation is also essential for appropriate recommendations for treatment and skin care regimens tailored to individual needs.
