The Middle Ages (34) : Leprous child

This series is an attempt to illustrate how life was going on in the Middle Ages.

Leprosy was omnipresent in the medieval society.
Also children felt victim of this terrible disease, like this young child, suffering from the first disorders.

At a later stage the disease looked like this !

An expression to match the markings of her awful disease ... fortunately it is only very good make-up. Very realistic looking - and very well captured, Mark !!!

I don`t approve this illustration of Middle Age Life.
Leprosy exists today under the name of Hansen's disease. It is only contracted in childhood.It has treatment but it`s necessary to know make its diagnosis what sometimes isn`t done by medical forgetfulness that the disease is present yet in our days.

Hope this disease will be easily washed off until Christmas.
Nevertheless, a good reminder of the bad old times.
Cheers - A.
