Camouflage

Everyone is aware of their appearance and the reactions of others to it. People have always used dress, ornament and cosmetics to alter or enhance areas of their bodies, or to disguise or hide other aspects of their bodies. Those who suffer some 'abnormality' of appearance, may be helped by laser therapy or surgery, but there is often some residual imperfection.

Cosmetic camouflage has much to offer. The British Association of Skin Camouflage, The Red Cross and the Skin Camouflage Network offer a skin camouflage service. Click on the respective organisation's name to link to their web site. A lot of hospitals also offer a skin camouflage service to their own patients. Contact the centre caring for you or your child for further advice.

There are several types of cosmetic creams on the market but the correct shade and type of cream requires help from a trained cosmetician. All are available on prescription.
