A man with rough skin is having difficulty going about his daily life. Jimmy’s body is covered in dry skin that bleeds frequently due to itching, and he is unable to wear clothes. He recently spoke out about the “living hell” he endures as a result of his “crocodile-like skin.” In an Instagram post, he is shown clawing all over his dry body, causing himself to bleed as he tears his own skin off. “These bumps are all over my legs, my arms, my back, my chest, feels like I’m running my fingers over a crocodile,” the man is heard saying in the clip. “Being in my skin, it’s an itchy hell,” he further says.
Jimmy sought treatment from dermatologist Sandra Lee, often known as Dr Pimple Popper due to a show she presents on TLC America. He was quoted as saying by Metro: “Everyday it’s a hell waking up, I know I’m going to be scratching and what not, I try to occupy my mind with other things just to keep my mind off it.” Jimmy further stated that 90% of his body is covered in dry skin. He also revealed why he is unable to dress properly.
“Clothes hurt so bad, I have to wear shorts and no shirt or just a tank top,” said Jimmy. “The worst part of my body are my legs. With the scratching and everything, if I don’t keep my fingernails short, I’m just ripping the skin and sometimes it bleeds really badly,” he added.
