The girl should moisten the body with water every hour and lubricate the skin with a moisturizer every three hours so that it does not peel off. However, her family of eight people cannot afford the cream, and Shalini sheds her skin every 45 days. This is how she has been living since birth. Classmates are afraid of her and call her a snake girl. Now Shalini has been kicked out of school.
The girl's mother said that they had been to several doctors, but no one can cure her daughter, and the disease is progressing. "I feel helpless when I see her skin peeling off and my baby is in terrible pain. This disease does not kill her, but gradually takes her life. We have no idea where to go and who to consult," she says.
Shalini's siblings have normal skin. Her mother believes that death is better than such a life. The girl herself says: "I wanted to study, but I was kicked out of school because the children were scared at the sight of my face. The whole family is suffering because of my illness. But what is my fault? What sin have I committed to be punished with such a disease? I want to live. Help me if you can."
