Jennifer Taylor from Prescot has spoken out about the devastating impact of her son being diagnosed with a rare skin condition. The condition, which causes painful blisters and eventually leads to skin loss, is extremely rare and affects only a handful of people worldwide.
Taylor's son was diagnosed after she noticed changes in his skin, but it was not until he developed severe blistering that they sought medical attention. 'Holding my son made my skin blister and fall off,' Taylor revealed in an interview. 'It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.'
The mother-of-three wants others to be aware of the condition, which can be misdiagnosed or mistaken for other conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. She hopes that by sharing her son's story, she can raise awareness and help those affected by this rare condition.
Taylor has been supporting charities that work with people living with skin conditions, and is urging others to do the same. 'It's not just about my son,' she said. 'There are thousands of people out there who are suffering in silence.'
