A young girl is facing ‘living hell’ because of a rare disorder which makes her skin appear like stone.

Seven-year-old Rajeshwari, who lives in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, suffers from an incurable condition called ichthyosis which causes her skin to become scaly.

The rough blisters have covered her arms, legs and most of her back and make it painful for her to walk or even sit.


The seven-year-old lives in a tribal district in Dantewada and travelling to a nearby city for medical appointments is an additional burden.

Video footage shows Rajeshwari walking slowly and painfully into an enclosure with the scaly skin covering most of her body.

Her legs and arms are almost completely covered in blisters, including her hands and feet, with her stomach and most of her back also affected.

There is little health care available in the young girl’s district, meaning she has to travel into the city for medical attention.

They are also vulnerable to infections because of cracks in their skin and may have impaired vision or hearing if skin builds up over their ears and eyes.

The condition is usually inherited from one’s parents, but can also be acquired in connection with other health problems.

I can imagine how cruel and hard life has been for her... It is well

God have mercy

Always India

Really rare ,wish a cure would be available

This look like the stonemen disease from Game of Thrones.

They should give her a skin transplant ASAP before she grows into an adult.

If not I pity the man who will try to deflower her when she becomes a woman.
