What a horrible disease. I saw a pic on there of a child that was around 5'ish. I wonder what the life expectancy is if you make it back the toddler stage.

I wish I hadnt clicked that.

Interesting how the first picture on the google images appeared on what claims to be a humor site.

Yeah, that sucks. Saw one girl with this disease yesterday, she's 18y old, has to "wash" her skin like 2 - 3 times per day (~2h each time), uses ~10 kilos of cream per week to supply her skin...

There is a guy who is an adult sufferer now, he is actually an athelete.

Just goes to show..

"In San Diego a young man, Ryan González, has this condition and has not only survived to adulthood but also thrives as a triathlete. His treatment involves dosing with isotretinoin (also known as Accutane), the constant use of lotions to keep the skin supple, and use of a very high-caloric diet of at least 7,500 calories a day, including a nightly feeding tube of pure protein due to the constant shedding of his skin, which is believed to shed ten to forty times faster than unaffected skin.

Ryan takes part in the triathlon for athletes with disabilities and swims regularly."
