The Artwork:

This work “Iced Aloe”  has been especially painted for the Skin Deep Charity.  I relate to this charity as I have suffered from serve Eczema in the past trying all sorts of potions to cool the cracked/burnt skin.  I have chosen cool coloured naming this painting Iced Aloe as I found personally was something that used to help me.  My condition wasn’t as severe as others yet I still have an understanding of the pain and wish to help in whichever way I can for this fabulous charity.   SKIN DEEP Behind the Mask (SDBM) is a non profit organisation dedicated to supporting sufferers of all types of skin diseases by helping to manage their condition and symptoms. It also aims to educate and raise awareness of the difficulties skin disease patients face and the impact it can have on their families and loved ones. There are valuable independent small charities and support groups that are dedicated to specific diseases. However, skin diseases can be complex and wide ranging in nature with many patients finding they are diagnosed with secondary or additional conditions. Some of the rarest conditions are the most unrepresented by charities with little or no support provided to those in need.

Unlike some illnesses, skin disease is very overt in nature and cannot be easily hidden. The emotional and psychological effects can be as debilitating as the physical complications. It can take its toll not only on the sufferers but on those who support and care for them. SDBM has been established to provide education, support and guidance to sufferers and carers alike for all types of skin diseases. We are not competing with other skin charities, but instead aim to work closely with them in improving research techniques, raising public awareness and providing better support and information.

 

The UK needs a charity to cater for all types of skin conditions, including the rarest of diseases. Some of the lesser known disorders remain a mystery even to medical experts and as yet have no cure. These sufferers still need a voice and to feel part of an integrated society where they can still enjoy a career and private life outside of a treatment room. Through its continued efforts, SDBM is aiming to provide a valuable resource of information and support for all skin types and conditions.
