Beth Tsangarides said her skin reacts to everything she does, flares up when she laughs or cries too much, and even becomes hypersensitive to many foods, herbs and spices.
The horrific photos showed the 20-year-old woman’s skin, and doctors claim it… “Medical mystery”.
“I feel like I’m being burned alive, it’s painful,” said Beth, who has suffered from the disease since she was 15.
Beth was diagnosed with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) three years after she became ill. This condition occurs when the heart rate increases very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down, according to “The Sun” website.
But she is still undergoing tests to get an official diagnosis of the cause of her skin problems.
Day after day, the young woman suffers from movement problems, fainting, and seizures that make her unable to work, making her partner, Sasha Hay, 20, the one who takes care of her full-time.
“At 15, I woke up one morning with a rash on my face, and from there, things just started to get worse,” Beth said. “My intestines, my kidneys, everything just stopped working. To the point where everything I did affected my skin or my body in some way, whether I was laughing or laughing.” “I cry too much or get emotional, and my skin can start to glow. The way I describe it is like someone burning in a fire or acid attack.”
The young woman joked with her family, saying that she was “allergic to herself.”
Beth added: “If there are certain scents of spices and herbs or a very strong smell, it can cause me to stop breathing and have a severe reaction to my face. I’m very restricted in what I can eat, which is difficult because I’m 20 and I want To go out with my friends for drinks and pizza or something.”
Another major annoyance is her inability to wear makeup like her friends. Beth also endured harsh nicknames at school, including “Tomato Face,” because she was unable to hide her red marks.
