A man with a debilitating condition can barely walk or wear clothes and has even gone temporarily blind because he sheds six months of skin - a WEEK.

Jassem Ahmed, 28, discovered flaky patches of skin behind his ears ten years ago, and within months his entire body was covered in itchy red raw patches. He has psoriasis - an disease which attacks the immune system, and causes his skin cells to be replaced at super-speed, leaving him with red, flaky, crusty patches.
