Niah Selway of Hastings, East Sussex, suffers from aquagenic pruritus, which causes her 'whole body to burn for hours on end' if her skin comes into contact with water.
The 21-year-old claims the burning lasts for hours and she often passes out from exhaustion following a reaction.
She shows her hand after breaking out in a painful rash following contact with water. She said the condition, which has no known cause and is difficult to diagnose, has left her housebound and struggling to wash. And when she cries, her tears bring out a painful rash on her face. 'Relaxing' soaks in the bath are also out of the question.
