A mum who is allergic to water says taking a shower or getting caught in the rain feels like someone has 'taken a lighter to her body'.
Kendall Bryce, 25, from Durham, UK has aquagenic urticaria - a rare condition which causes her skin to swell and break out in hives whenever she comes into contact with water.
The mum-of-one, who is currently pregnant with her second child, says her life is "a daily struggle" - as she suffers from "excruciating" pain whenever she tries to wash her hands or her body.
She is also affected by rain water and very humid days, meaning her life is "dictated" by the weather, and even feels a "burning" sensation when she drinks water.
Doctors have so far been unable to find any medication which works for Kendall - and so she has been forced to continue living her life in "excruciating" pain.
