Skin: Living With A Visible Difference
Skin conditions impact 60% of British people - but how does having one impact our confidence, body image and relationships?
Research by the British Skin Foundation has found that 60% of British people currently suffer from or have suffered from a skin disease at some point during their lifetime. And research by Changing Faces has found that one in three people say that they feel depressed, sad or anxious as a result of having a visible difference.
Reece Parkinson meets three young people who all have a skin condition or skin difference. Alec King is a model and has the autoimmune disorder Vitiligo. Cheryl Shaw was born with Congenital Malanocytic Naevus, a rare condition which causes large moles to grow all over the body. Raiche Mederick is a burns survivor.
