Face veins

Hello

I'm looking for a subtle makeup to cover up veins on my forehead and face and don't know where to look. And has anyone else tried it. By the way I'm a 41 year old male with scleroderma and raynauds.

I suggest you contact the Raynaud's and scleroderma Association (SRUK) they have specialists on make up, male or female, and can advise you.

By face veins I wonder if you mean telangectasia which are red marks which pale on pressure then return. I have had these for some time and have had two series of laser treatment through the NHS which were very successful, although you look as if you have been burnt with a cigarette for a few days after. I requested further help recently as they have returned after some years but the NHS apparently will not do it now as it is seen as cosmetic treatment! They will refer me to a private clinic. I have not yet taken this up as I'm concerned about the cost. I know one can get great result with camouflage makeup but I rarely wear make up and with contractures of my hand caused by the scleroderma it would be difficult to apply. In any event the idea of applying makeup daily does not appeal to me. I hope you find a solution.

Yes that is what I mean. They are not so noticeable in the summer due to a bit of a tan but in winter they are very prominent. Cosmetic surgery is out of the question due to cost. Thanks for your reply.
