A young woman named Nathalie Richert, 25, from Kivik in Sweden, has a rare skin condition called ichthyosis with confetti (IWC), making her one of only 40 reported cases worldwide. This condition causes dry, scaly skin that grows at seven times the normal rate, leading to constant peeling. Nathalie also has patches of normal skin, creating unique patterns.
Despite facing discrimination and name-calling, Nathalie remains positive and encourages others to enjoy life. The condition causes fatigue, joint pain, and burning sensations, requiring her to spend days in a warm bath with Epsom salts.
While unable to be cured, Nathalie's IWC is self-healing, creating patches of healthy skin. She describes her appearance as resembling blossom and emphasizes the importance of appreciating life despite challenges.
Despite difficulties in school and public settings, Nathalie has always maintained a positive outlook. She has found support from good friends and has pursued her passion for graphic design. Currently, she is starting a business with her mother, selling matching products for animals and their owners.
Nathalie's daily routine involves extensive skincare but she remains resilient and refuses to let her condition hinder her. She emphasizes the beauty of the world and encourages others to focus on positivity and enjoyment.
