Cosmetic camouflage

J Cosmet Dermatol. 2006 Dec;5(4):297-301. doi: 10.1111/j.1473-2165.2006.00274.x.

Abstract

Although many skin conditions are amenable to treatment, on certain occasions dermatology and plastic surgery have not much to offer and patients are left with disfigurements. Cosmetic camouflage is a therapy that has been developed to alleviate the suffering of those who have been disfigured by a congenital or an acquired lesion and who have no other choice than living with their deformity.
