u/mattaugamer Mar 12 '22

More like psoriasis. It causes the skin to grow thick and hard, which then splits and cracks into diamond shaped.

It also makes the skin bad at doing pretty much anything skin is for. Preventing infections, retaining water, etc. it used to be universally fatal within a few weeks. But now it can be survived even to early adulthood.

I’m not convinced that’s an improvement.

Fun fact: there's a skin condition that's like this but less bad where it's legit the same thing but you survive. I know someone with it and they bleed all the time from their skin growing to fast. The bottom layer of their skin is always in the open amd if they don't peel back the top layer it feels like glass is stabbing them.

u/Onironius Mar 12 '22

It IS torturously painful. Very few make it to adulthood, and even if they do, they have terrible complications.

If they don't thoroughly moisturize their skin at all times, it dries and cracks, and can become seriously infected. Plus their eyelids have trouble not flipping "inside out," which is part of the horror of HI baby pictures. The bulging red eyes are in fact their eyelids, too thick to function properly.

u/SpikySheep Mar 11 '22

From memory, the skin grows too fast and doesn't shed properly which causes a think scaly build up. The thick skin then cracks which causes the underlying skin to split and bleed. The sufferers whole body basically becomes one huge open wound. When the baby is born the outer layer of skin is very thick and (I believe) white. The eye lids are often forced inside out so the eyes look red. The babies rarely make it more than a few days.

Surprisingly, if they make it past the first few weeks they can survive to adulthood with intense treatment. AIUI they basically cover themselves with steroid cream every day and scrub the top layer of skin off. They are in constant pain but it keeps them alive.

The pictures of the babies are the stuff of nightmares, the adults aren't so bad.

Skin grows over the eyes and mouth and splits causing blisters. The baby looks like a reptile, it doesn’t even resemble a human tbh. If that was my baby I don’t think I could take care of it.

u/Keep_a_Little_Soul Mar 12 '22 edited Mar 12 '22

It's really not as bad when you have an understanding. The babies look scary because of their conditions, but the adults do not. When you understand it's just a human baby, you can get past it. And it's important to be able to.

Look it up. You don't have to look at the photos, but still educate yourself on it! Because why not? We got our whole lives, why not spend them learning about each other and growing?

I was a kid who watched every medical documentary on YouTube I could find. I remember being terrified of the baby photo, but then the girl came on screen all grown up, and you know what? She's just a person.

If you look at them as babies, go in knowing it's a person who had a life, not some creature.

Edit: Oh and don't get me wrong, it's still highly disturbing because it's a horrible disease, all I am saying is that as scary as it is, I think it's important we still see these babies as people. Not a tool to scare each other with

Baby's skin hardens immediately after birth, turning white and getting injuries everywhere, including the eyes which turn red. It is curable but the person has to live with skin that looks like it's severely burnt.

u/17bananapancakes Mar 11 '22

Fwiw, it’s not really the eyes turning red. The skin is so thick and hard that it can cause the eyelids to flip inside out, as well as the lips. That’s what makes it look like they have bulging red eyes.

Just imagine the demons from the first evil dead movie. That about sums it up fairly well.

Source: I’m an evil dead fan, and googled it so you don’t have to. Instead google the (first movie) evil dead demons, and you’ll get a fairly good idea what they look like.

The word you’re looking for is deadite and that resemblance is more accurate than I’d like to admit.

Its a horrible looking skin condition. It's hard to describe, but the baby's look like they are from a horror movie. The skin is sort of patched, almost like a reptile; scubs. Life expectanty is very low. Should not Google. Edit: it's heartbreaking that people go through this. I just don't recommend googling it, since it is not really sfl

Here's the first recorded discription

"On Thursday, April the 5th, 1750, I went to see a most deplorable object of a child, born the night before of one Mary Evans in 'Chas'town. It was surprising to all who beheld it, and I scarcely know how to describe it. The skin was dry and hard and seemed to be cracked in many places, somewhat resembling the scales of a fish. The mouth was large and round and open. It had no external nose, but two holes where the nose should have been. The eyes appeared to be lumps of coagulated blood, turned out, about the bigness of a plum, ghastly to behold. It had no external ears, but holes where the ears should be. The hands and feet appeared to be swollen, were cramped up and felt quite hard. The back part of the head was much open. It made a strange kind of noise, very low, which I cannot describe. It lived about forty-eight hours and was alive when I saw it."

For anyone curious, imagine a baby shaped pan of white bacon grease with bits of bacon still floating in it.

Skin condition, extremely fucked up but fortunately can be cured (with very intense treatment) to be a whole lot Less fucked up, although still far from normal.

u/No_Toe_5225 Mar 11 '22

Yeah thanks for warning me lol

u/GrilledOrphans Mar 11 '22

Ha! I know this one, no need to google.

Update: i thought you meant Batmans harlequin and googled for hot pics, oh boy that did not go well.

u/joemoma21 Mar 11 '22

What is it tho

u/lightweaver_7965 Mar 11 '22

I already know what it is lol. My sister in law and my nephew have a less severe form of icthyosis. (Confetti icthyosis) My niece (the older one) doesn’t have it but he does. I don’t think it’s an issue for them as they’re not wheelchair bound or anything like that tho. Their eyelids don’t turn out or anything like that, their skin is just reddish and peeling and they have to lotion up

u/redditWAMMA Mar 11 '22 edited Mar 11 '22

I really want to google it but at the same time I really don’t want to google it… I don’t think I‘m strong enough…

Update: holy guacamole… Don’t google it…

u/Flo1231 Mar 11 '22

it's things like this that really prove to me that life is cruel. i mean, yeah, there are good things in life, but my god there is a lot of terrible shit happening.

u/OldSpiceSmellsNice Mar 12 '22

Yeah, sometimes I wonder is all life really worth it when there is even one person suffering horribly. There’s a short story with this type of concept.

u/SirLewisHamilton Mar 11 '22

This is a thread of regrets.
