A man with “crocodile skin” in his fight: “The clothes hurt so much”
Jimmy has been dealing with this condition for years.
A man with an acute condition of rough skin faces problems in everyday life. Jimmy’s body is covered in dry skin that often bleeds from itching and he can’t even wear clothes. He recently opened up about the “living hell” he faces due to his “crocodile skin”. In a preview clip, posted on Instagram, we see him scratching all over his dry body, to the point of bleeding while peeling off his skin.
“These bumps are all over my legs, my arms, my back, my chest, I feel like I’m running my fingers over a crocodile,” the man is heard saying in the clip.
“Being in my skin is itchy hell,” he further says.
Jimmy visited dermatologist Sandra Lee, known as Dr. Pimple Popper due to a show she hosts on TLC America, for treatment.
He was quoted as saying by Metro“Everyday is hell waking up, I know I’m going to scratch myself and whatever, I try to occupy my mind with other things just so I don’t think about it.”
Jimmy added that 90% of his body is covered in dry skin. He also explained why he can’t wear proper clothes.
“Clothes hurt so much, I have to wear shorts and no shirt or just a tank top,” Jimmy said.
“The worst part of my body is my legs. With the scratches and all, if I don’t keep my fingernails short I just tear the skin and sometimes it bleeds really badly,” he added.
