There are over 2,000 known diseases of the skin, most of which are less than common and can be considered rare. Although skin diseases are not contagious, the BASC strongly advise that you seek medical opinion before seeking help with skin camouflage.
All patients are strongly advised to seek further medical diagnosis should they observe any changes to the condition of their skin, dermatosis or to any mole. Skin camouflage applications should be discontinued until permission to continue is given by your medical practitioner.
The successful key to skin camouflage is to create an acceptable skin match whilst at the same time concealing your dermatosis, scar tissue or tattoo.
Skin camouflage is designed to blend in with your skin colour, however the texture of your skin will remain unchanged. Skin camouflage is applied in two stages – the first is a fine layer of skin match camouflage cream, the second is to set the cream using a suitable loose powder. Occasionally it is necessary to apply a complementary coloured camouflage cream before the skin match – this is especially so when camouflaging a tattoo.
