Butterfly Skin is a RARE GENETIC INCURABLE PAINFUL condition

Imagine being fearful of comforting your baby, knowing that to hold them causes them pain.

Imagine that their skin is as fragile as a butterfly’s wing and that those simple activities like eating and walking cause severe pain and distress. Imagine your baby being treated in a hospital where the healthcare professionals have no medical experience of the condition and being told that there is currently no cure. This is the reality for families with Butterfly Skin.
