title: Disability in dermatology.
abstract: To be unwelcome is the greatest disability of all. On the other hand, to be confident is a passport for success. Beauty is what people like. If one is ugly one has a significant chance of not being liked and one's chances of achieving one's potential are greatly reduced. Skin failure should rate with heart failure, respiratory failure, liver failure or any other failure as worthy of intensive care.
