She is missing a vital cement (collagen 7) in her skin, which makes her incredibly fragile. If she falls she either loses the skin in that area or it blisters. As a result her body is mostly covered by protective dressings. It affects her eyes, occasionally rendering her blind, and affects her mouth and oesophagus, making eating and swallowing painful. The condition is incredibly cruel and Sohana’s type, the most serious form, is progressive, debilitating and life threatening, ending in skin cancer which can occur any time from the teens onwards.
