In the UK most district general hospitals have such a clinic, often in
conjunction with the plastic surgeons, and often run by the Red Cross. The
proprietary cosmetics available include Covermark (10 shades), Dermablend
(14 shades), Dermacolour (66 shades). All are prescribable on the NHS in the
UK, where the patient has a pre-established medical condition such as burns
or birthmarks.
