Description:
Source: Necrobiosis lipoidica - British Association of Dermatologists
Aim:
In this case, the patches of Necrobiosis on the legs required a specific application of cover creams to block out the ‘ring effect’ created by the red border. This was achieved by working from the inside, out. The natural skin colour cover cream was then applied ensuring the central yellow section was completely blocked out. A ‘stippling’ effect using Rose completed the colour match. This application will tolerate fine hosiery and loose clothing for 24 hours.
Outcome:
- 20 minutes consultation
- 30 minutes prep + colour matching
- 40 minutes patient tuition
- 15 minutes aftercare and SCS Essentials Kit
The application of cover creams took a while to work out but with patience and hundreds of cover cream combinations to choose from along with good day light we achieved a realistic daily application.
