Skinema: Dermatology in the cinema
A horribly serious "film buff" site. Either this poor schmuck has skin problems, or he's just got too much time on his hands -- or both.
And here's what we learned today, folks:
"Actors with skin conditions serve as examples that skin lesions can happen to anyone and can often be treated. The majority of films use skin disease to convey a character's devious motivations. Finally, very few films depict characters with skin disease sympathetically. We must remember that the attitude towards skin disease in movies to some extent both reflects and informs the perceptions of our society."
