Life without skin
Garrett Spaulding was born with a rare skin disease in which more than a half percent of his body covered with raw sores similar to third-degree burns
This is a rare inherited disease - epidermolysis bullosa, which most people have not even heard
Yet the disease strikes up to 100 000 children
Born with this disease can not produce collagen-7, which serves as a glue for the internal and external layers of the skin
Weekly 12-year-old boy goes through the familiar process of changing bandages ...
This happens at least three times a week ... The pain is unbearable - the bandages with the skin peeled off ... Because this process can take up to 5 hours.
And Garrett glad every respite ...
