India has recorded their first case of

Harlequin Ichthyosis. A baby girl, Maharashtra who was born in Nagpur, is believed to have Harlequin Ichthyosis, a severe genetic disorder which leaves the entire body encased in armour-like thick white plates, separated by deep cracks leaving no skin on the body.

The baby was born by caesarean section to a 23-year-old woman from the city of Amravati in Indian at the Lata Mangeshkar Medical College and Hospital.

Doctors say the child will have to face daily treatments and daily moisturizing in order to survive the condition. They say they’re applying petroleum jelly and coconut oil onto the child’s skin and giving her a special nutritional supplement.

Paediatrician Dr Yash Banait said:

“There is no cure for this disorder. All that medical science can do is try to keep the baby alive.”
