Strange 2 sisters skinned like a snake

Due to a rare dermatological syndrome, two siblings in the United Kingdom had skin flakes daily like snakes.

Stacey and Emma Picken are the only sisters in the UK diagnosed with rare lamellar ichthyosis , with a worldwide incidence of 1 / 600,000. The strange disease caused their skin to grow five times faster than usual and peeled into a foundation every day.

Stacey and Emma's parents said their two daughters had to apply a new moisturizer to make them feel comfortable. They also have to bathe twice a day to soften, soothe the skin and hair because the scalp is also severely affected.

Since going to school, Emma (now 18) and Stacey (16 years old) have had to overcome many obstacles due to their discrimination and bullying because of strange diseases. They also have to avoid participating in outdoor sports because the sun can make them sweat and sudden death due to overheating.

'Both sisters are indoors when it is hot. We did not go on vacation overseas either because it was very dangerous for them . While people yearn for more sunlight, we wish it would rain.

Stacey's skin is faster than Emma's skin because she possesses lighter skin. Ever since our two children were young, we used water spray guns to keep them cool on summer nights , "said Steven Picken, 53 years old - Stacey and Emma Picken's father said.
