Living with a rare skin disease can mean daily treatments, visible differences, and constant questions - but it also means resilience, strength, and a community. Rare is not alone. Rare is powerful. Rare is human. #RareDiseaseDay #RareDERM #ichthyosis

My Skin is RARE. Behind every diagnosis is a person. A family. A story. Rare forms of ichthyosis affect around 1 in every 100,000–300,000 births depending on the type. That means many people go through life never meeting someone else with the same condition.

Some people say, “It’s not a disease, it's not contagious", but it is classified as a disease because it is a genetic disorder that affects the skin’s ability to function normally. It requires lifelong management and can impact physical health, mental wellbeing, and daily life.
