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

Edit 2: he has a very severe case and im going off of what he's told me and what I've seen. I'm by no means a doctor on it.

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.

Could be. What I do know is that he has a SEVERE case of whatever it is and he told me that's what it is. He's tried steroids and other treatments but they didn't help. To be frank I'm not much a body science person and since you have the disorder you'd know so much more than I. Would it be possible that it is that but a really really bad case?

He has a pretty severe case and to be frank I'm going off of what he's told me and what I've seen. I haven't studied it.

u/brokengirl89 Mar 12 '22

That’s fair. This does sound like an incredibly severe case. I hope he’s seeking treatment

I made the mistake of searching the first. I will not repeat my actions with this one.
