You'll be in for a bumpy ride.....
A woman has revealed how her rare skin condition has left her with almost 6,000 tumours all over her body.
Libby Huffer from Fort Wayne in Indiana has suffered from a rare condition called Neurofibromatosis since she was five years old.
The rare skin disease causes non-cancerous lumps and she has already had ten operations.
She lived a normal life until her teens, when hundreds of bumps began rapidly developing all over her skin.
The first outbreak led to her being severely bullied – with people thinking she was contagious and cruelly labelling her ‘Lizard Breath’.
She said: ‘For the majority of my life I’ve covered up in long sleeved tops and trousers, but recently I’ve tried being brave by showing more of my skin.I try not to let it stop me.
‘Someday it would be wonderful not to have to worry about how I look, or what clothes will hide my bumps.
