Two of the most common skin conditions you might encounter as a tanning professional are atopic eczema (or atopic dermatitis), which is estimated to affect 10% of UK adults, and psoriasis, which affects around 2%.
The presentation and severity of the conditions varies from person to person, but eczema usually causes itchy, dry and cracked skin, while psoriasis can cause dry, scaly skin lesions called plaques which might also be itchy or sore.
