- description: A little girl from Phoenix, Arizona, has been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition which means her skins breaks into agonizing blisters at the slightest touch. Lizzy Hendrickson, 3, has Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex or 'Butterfly Disease' where the skin is as fragile as an insect's wing, 12 News Phoenix reports. It means ever since she was born her skin painfully blisters on being grazed- even through the comforting arms of her mom and dad. She can't do simple tasks without putting herself at risk and to run, play and fall like other children would likely necessitate a trip to the emergency room. She can't be showered because of the pressure of falling water and wears layers of ointment and bandages around her legs - the worst affected parts of her body. Changing her out of her diapers as a baby was a two person job - her parents told the website. One had to focus on holding her down and stopping her from wriggling so she didn't break her skin from the movement while the other removed the diaper gently with two hands to ensure it didn't tear her by sticking to her body.
