A young man suffering from a very rare skin
disease named 'Mucha Habermann' has taken to
the most popular Nigerian forum online to seek a
solution to his expensive health condition.
Lichenoides et Varioliformis Acuta or Pleva is very
much uncommon in the Nigerian society which
makes the skin condition of a Nigerian sufferer a
rare case.
The very disturbed patient has taken to a social
media platform to seek answers to his health
condition after the failure of some medical
personnels to convince him.
Read his words below:
"It all started this year April like heat rash on my
hands, on its second week it has gotten to my
back, third week, it was looking like Chicken pox so
I visited the hospital and the doctored said it was
chicken pox and I told him I had suffered from
chicken pox back in 2007.
I was administered some drugs but i noticed it kept
spreading, the doctor had to refer me to a skin
specialist, who taught it was chicken pox too but
on my second visit, he consulted his Books on
skin disease and alas, I've got Mucha Habermann
disease also known as pityriasis lichenoides et
varioliformis acuta or PLEVA.
I have also met a dermatologist. He talked about
using UV Light to correct it but was not so sure
since its a very rare disease and I am the first of
his patients with such.
Secondly, i would not be able to afford the fee of
120k a month( 2 sections a week) for some
months.
Please doctors, I have used several oral ointment
nd some drugs yet I ve not found relief.. It's said to
be a rare Immune disease but I don't want to
believe it has no cure.
Kindly assist me because I can't cope having these
all over my body"
