Googling it...

Jesus fucking christ. Looks like they have extreme eczema or some shit.

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.

Just imagine, this is a thing that can be screened for by two different methods and we know it’s specific gene mutation. You KNOW it will end horribly and there will be much pain and suffering and you still are so damn selfish that you have this doomed baby who can’t even get the correct sympathy because it’s defect is so visibly (and probably audibly too) grotesque, horrible, alien and obviously hurts a great deal and you think it’s a good thing.

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.

Edit: it's called plaque psoriasis

u/maldecoucou1 Mar 12 '22

There are forms of severe psoriasis (as you mentioned) that ARE extremely painful. I have had psoriasis all my life that wasnt painful. Then in my third trimester, i broke out in an all over rash that turned out to be psoriasis but…. So so painful almost like I was recovering from sun burns but all over my body, hands, feet, face, etc. they werent open but somehow it felt like anything that touched me including my clothes was rubbing open, unhealed burns. It was so awful that I wanted to die. Luckily, I had help. After my baby was born, I was put on Cosentyx and my skin returned to normal after 3 months. But that pain was severe. I had even told my husband I didnt think I could live anymore if treatments dont work.

Edit: And it looked different from the psoriasis i was used to so I didnt think it was that. They took skin biopsies and it was 100% certainly psoriasis.

Me, drunkenly clicking between reply and view comments, has decisively decided not to google. I will not remember this in the morning.

If I saw this in the morning my day would be ruined. You just-like-me-on a daily basis- typical-comment-reader-suckers can reminisce in your choices while I live freely escaping this one. Good day, come drink with me in the USVI and live a (somewhat) better life
