Abstract

Facial drapes can cause a wide range of problems in children with skin difficulties, not only health, but also social and psychological. Based on a questionnaire survey of 50 children with skin problems (and 76 pupils without dermatological treatment), the adverse effects of wearing veils, which related to limitations in everyday life, communication disorders with others and unpleasant feelings on the facial skin, were evaluated.

All respondents agreed that the veils bothered in all activities, however, more schoolchildren without skin problems. The summer hot weather was the worst for all of them, and the fastening of the veils behind the ears was also uncomfortable.

The overview then lists the possible side effects of wearing veils on the skin and also presents the functional pattern of the veil of our own design.
