Psoriasis Moulage How-To

Using moulage in your in-class simulations can be one of the best ways to prepare students for what to expect in their clinical positions. When students have the chance to encounter a situation within the safety of a simulation, they can ask questions and hone their response skills. We’ve prepared a short moulage how-to video and step-by-step to assist you in efforts to bring a psoriasis simulation into the classroom. For psoriasis moulage, you’ll need: • Mortician’s Wax (comes in the train4Real Moulage Master Kit) • Red Makeup (comes in the train4Real Moulage Master Kit) • Gold Makeup (comes in the train4Real Moulage Master Kit) • Baby Powder • Facial Tissue • Cotton-Tipped Applicator (optional) • Clean Mascara Wand • Loose Powder Brush • Alcohol Wipes (optional) Directions: 1. Apply Mortician’s Wax to standardized patient’s skin or directly to manikin. Use fingers to mold into the size and shape of your choice. Press down the sides to prevent peeling and allow to cool. 2. Use clean mascara wand to texturize the wax, giving it a scaly, bumpy appearance. 3. Use the facial tissue to apply red makeup on the wax. 4. Use cotton-tipped applicator or finger to lightly apply gold makeup to wax. 5. Dust entire area with baby powder, and wipe or blow away any excess makeup or baby powder from the area surrounding the wax. 6. Reapply makeup or baby powder as desired to achieve preferred color and condition. 7. To remove, use an alcohol wipe. To learn more about moulage, psoriasis, and simulation, visit SimTalkBlog.com.
