A young woman’s skin blisters and burns if she is exposed to only a few minutes of daylight. Lizzie Tenney suffers from the rare, and extreme, skin disorder Xeroderma Pigmentosum. With there only being around 300 diagnosed cases in the United States – it makes Lizzie one in a million. Xeroderma Pigmentosum commonly known as XP, is a rare degenerative disease, causing the skin to be unable to repair its own DNA once exposed – and damaged by – the sunlight’s harmful ultraviolet (or UV) rays, even resulting in skin cancer, neurological problems and developmental delays. In Lizzie’s case she has had skin cancer surgery 43 times. The 22-year-old, from Highland, Utah, has to use a specially-designed metre that measures the level of UV rays and tells her when it is safe to go outside.
