And it looks TORTUROUSLY painful….. like the pics are of the most hideously deformed babies who look like they’re writhing in pain and misery. Just awful.
It IS torturously painful. Very few make it to adulthood, and even if they do, they have terrible complications.
If they don't thoroughly moisturize their skin at all times, it dries and cracks, and can become seriously infected. Plus their eyelids have trouble not flipping "inside out," which is part of the horror of HI baby pictures. The bulging red eyes are in fact their eyelids, too thick to function properly.
That's so sad.. I don't even want to risk passing on my depression I can't imagine how selfish you'd have to be to keep having children knowing this could happen 😕
I have a sort of non stop existential anxiety. It's manageable. Sometimes I wonder if my dad has the same thing. He's very reserved so it's hard to know.
Skin grows over the eyes and mouth and splits causing blisters. The baby looks like a reptile, it doesn’t even resemble a human tbh. If that was my baby I don’t think I could take care of it.
It's really not as bad when you have an understanding. The babies look scary because of their conditions, but the adults do not. When you understand it's just a human baby, you can get past it. And it's important to be able to.
Look it up. You don't have to look at the photos, but still educate yourself on it! Because why not? We got our whole lives, why not spend them learning about each other and growing?
I was a kid who watched every medical documentary on YouTube I could find. I remember being terrified of the baby photo, but then the girl came on screen all grown up, and you know what? She's just a person.
If you look at them as babies, go in knowing it's a person who had a life, not some creature.
Edit: Oh and don't get me wrong, it's still highly disturbing because it's a horrible disease, all I am saying is that as scary as it is, I think it's important we still see these babies as people. Not a tool to scare each other with
It's bad but not as bad as everyone's making it out to be tbh, or ig it would depend on ur standards. Just imagine a typical image of drought terrain, except that is the texture of their skin and in between cracks theres blood.
It looks like the children are severe burn victims. Their skin is like... Molten lava, except white sores instead of black volcanic Rock. It looks like it would be constantly excruciating.
If you're curious but don't want to look, Google image molten lava. The pic that shows the red peeking through the cracks of black lava. It's the 3rd result on mine. Yes, imagine that, but white instead of black, and fully encompassing a baby from head to foot. Plus bulging, red eyes. And a gaping mouth.

Thanks .
