Woman documents her skin condition that leaves her bright red

A woman has a 'burning' skin condition that makes her look bright red and turns her eyelids 'upside down'.

Nathalie Richert, from Malmö, Sweden, suffers from a rare condition known as ichthyosis confetti which affects her whole body and makes it scaly, stiff and extremely dry.

The 23-year-old was diagnosed with the disease which she says has only been reported in 20 people worldwide.

It baffled the doctors when she was born because of her "purple" skin.

Nathalie has since learned to live with her symptoms, but she is often the butt of jokes and is regularly stared at in the street by strangers who think she has severe sunburn.
