Welcome to www.skinema.com... The Dermatology in the Cinema web site--Home of the Skinnies Awards!

As a dermatologist and a film buff, I present a series of skin conditions featured in movies. Peruse at your leisure and let me know what you think. You may look at movies in a new way. Disclaimer: None of the individuals featured on the site are patients. The images are publicity photos (not clinical photos taken in a medical office). Actors seen with skin conditions include some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Updated: 1-09-10.

Villains with problem skin

Film fiends show scars, hair loss, tattoos, and albinism

Realistic roles

Sympathetic characters with genetic disorders, AIDS, &scars.

Not to mention...
