Product Description

An estimated 400,000 people in the UK have some form of facial blemish, including birthmarks, burns, cancer, and scars from accidents. And around 40,000 people in the USA have some form of birthmark alone.

The psychological impact of these can be tremendous, impacting severely on social, work, and relationship confidence. However, modern surgery, laser and other treatments can be of great help in overcoming scarring and other disfigurement. Sophisticated make-up is another option. Yet, all too often, people with birthmarks or blemishes are ill-informed as to which treatments are available, and how to access them. One example is accessing suitable make-up for a range of skin colours, which can be surprisingly difficult.

This book examines the emotional and practical side of living with disfigurement.

Topics covered include:

Coping with other people's attitudes and perceptions
Overcoming childhood trauma
Confidence-boosting tips and other life skills
Lasering and other treatments
Getting quality support from family, friends, professionals, and support groups

Comprehensive, Informative, Inspirational 24 Feb 2008

By G. Lamont

Format:Paperback

I'm the author and I received this review from the USA with a request to post on Amazon UK - so here it is!
Living with Birthmarks and Blemishes is a comprehensive, informative resource guide - filled with inspirational stories from the author's own experiences and those of other people living with visible marks. The author's straightforward style and wit make the book an informative AND enjoyable read. The pages feature practical advice on a wide-range of relevant topics -- from treatment options to applying camouflage make-up. Gordon Lamont provides readers with essential and valuable tools, simple strategies, and step-by-step exercises to increase confidence, conquer negativity, and lead a more positive, fulfilling life.
