Making It Easier To Live with Scars

The scars of Acid burns are skin deep, they never fade away from victims skin and heart. Even the most potent medicine "Time" can not heal the scars from a survivor's body and soul but can it be concealed? 

Yes it can be. Pearl Academy of Fashion New Delhi recently hosted a work shop in association with Atijeevan foundation where all the Acid Survivors working with Atijeevan received training from our medical partners on how to conceal the without surgery. The effect of these makeups were amazing and Atijeevan Foundation thanks all who enabled it especially Pear Academy to give a platform for this workshop.  

There are many instances in a survivors life where they shy away from facing people like social gathering, marriages, festival only due to their looks as they do not feel comfortable with the  uneasy questions and glare of on lookers. These makeup techniques will definitely help the survivors to participate in these occasion and enjoy the memories like any other.

The Long Road to Recovery

Atijeevan foundation has been helping Akayamma from the day she was admitted to the Hospital after acid attack. The road to recovery is really long and painful. After her she was discharged from her initial treatment, lot of scars(keloids in medical term)formed on her face which made her pain miserable.

She has to undergo another surgery ten days back to release the Keloids and reduce her pain. Atijeevan took full responsibility of getting her admitted the Hospital and paid for all her hospitalization and Surgery cost. Thankfully she is feeling much better now and she is ready to go home with her daughter.

She may need another similar surgery as the skin is very active for almost two year and scars keep on forming. We will keep a close eye on her health and guiding her to take care of the skin during this period. There are some specialized but expensive creams to to help reduce the scar formation, Atijeevan has already provided her the medicines and counselled her to apply them regularly.

It takes an instant to throw acid on a person but takes years to heal the wound. Hope she endure this painful time and come out stronger to life.
