Protect the part of the body which protects you!


Skin has layers! It protects you from the environmental hazards that might cause dangerous diseases which we might not be aware off. Diseases could be genetic also which might be present before birth also. Genetic skin disorders are also handled by skin specialists. It was just 2 days back that a baby with the rarest skin disorder was born! 
The baby had no skin on the entire body at all. If you talk in the medical language the rare skin disorder is known Harlequin ichthyosis. A team of child specialist and skin specialists took a special care of this case. This skin disorder was caused due to mutation of genes and such births happen like 1 in 300,000 kids!
 Technology has become so advanced that skin grafting is a technique which is used to replace skin with some deformities but even this skin grafting wasn’t possible, that’s how critical this case was! Skin specialist had given their views on this and also mentioned that proper moisturizer and coconut oil would be good for the baby and of course nutrition needs to be taken care off because the requirement for everything has almost doubled but the astonishing fact was the baby had no breathing problems which can just be described as ‘AMAZING’ but unfortunately the baby wasn’t able to deal with this skin disorder and she died. The body is given to the laboratory for further researches which is carried out by a team of experts, skin specialists being the major and the most important part of the research. All we can say is, RIP little angel! By: Dt. Trishala Chopra
