well i have been to see the camouflage specialist and it was well worth it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif and i was lucky to see one locally because usually people from the area where i live have to travel miles to be seen but as luck would have it the hospitla i attend is running a pilot scheme for a year.

the specialist uses a product called veil and there is such a range of skin tone colours that most skin types can be catered for even if they need to be blended. i was shown how to apply the camouflage by using a really small amount on the tip of my finger and using a gentle rolling motion to cover the area of skin that needs to be covered. i then have to apply a powder which is dermacolor P1 powder to set the camouflage and after ten minutes or so you dab the powder off with a damp piece of cloth (i will use a flannel).

i always considered that i did not mind having red cheecks and a nose that would compete with ruddolph (it's been like that since i was a teenager) but once the camouflage was on it looked so good - and my skin had a healthy glow instead of being red that i wanted the products straight away style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif but i have to wait for the specialist to write to my gp so that he can prescribe them for me this will take about two weeks and although buying them on perscription will be cheaper i am considering buying them over the counter without the perscription.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wavey.gif hi chris

i was referred to the camouflage specialist through a dermatologist at my local hospial after being treated for roseacea which has caused open veins on my face but as i said i was lucky to be included in a pilot scheme. maybe it might be worth you seeing your gp to see if you can be referred to a dermatologist.

sorry can't think of any other ideas - but its worth a try.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wavey.gif hi

not sure whether it is available in the us but i think i remember the specialist saying that someone bought it over the net but had got the wrong skin tone colour and because it was to pale she was using loads of it which would be expensive. when i finally get mine (still waiting for the gp to get letter) i will only have to use a really small amount.

i am wondering if you doc could suggest something for you.

best of luck in finding a solution style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clover.gif
