My body is covered in scars- im guessing id never be able to have a career in dance right?

I was going to go for a scholarship in Laban in 2 years but i dont know if i could ever get accepted with my amount of scarring. (scarring from self injury)|||Hi lizzie,





You can do this free on doctor%26#039;s prescription in UK but anywhere else you would probably have to pay for it.





If you are in UK.....Get a referral from your GP to see a Red Cross adviser at your nearest hospital to offer this service.





This lady will be trained in camouflage make up. She will look at your scars and your skin tone and mix colours to suit your skin colour.





You will be taught how to apply the make up which is totally waterproof and will only come off with special cream.





You wouldn%26#039;t have to apply it all over, just to the scars, it won%26#039;t show because by matching it to your skin tone it will not be any different to the rest of your body.





Usually they use Dermacolor which you can get online from theatrical sites such as screenface. The problem with that though is that you don%26#039;t get anyone teaching you exactly what to do as it isn%26#039;t like applying ordinary make up. Also you need to get the colour just right.





I am sure there are ways to get someone to help in other countries, I just don%26#039;t know who or how.





I can assure you Lizzie that once this stuff is on nobody, however close they got to you would be able to detect any scars.





A lot of people with birthmarks on their face use it, even men.





I hope this helps you and gives you the confidence to pursue your dreams darling.





Love Mel.x|||The scars themselves shouldn%26#039;t be a reason to be denied entry to Laban. That would mean that the admissions board would be biased on physical appearance, a BIG no-no with schools. But the actions behind the scars could lead them to possibly deny entry. Only because they%26#039;d be worried about your mental and emotional capacity to handle stress incurred at the school.|||You can get camouflage make up that would cover your scars %26amp; there are brilliant ones now that can match your skin tone so don%26#039;t let that put you off in your dance career, think positive %26amp; you will achieve what you really want, good luck :)
