  • Around 2 million people in the UK have a food allergy, but have you ever heard of someone being allergic to water? 23-year-old Niah Selway, from Hastings, was born with the rare skin condition, called Aquagenic Pruritus. It means that if her skin comes into contact with water she has a severe extremely painful ‘scalding’ reaction, which can last for hours, with no effective pain relief. And it’s not just having a shower that she has to be careful of - Niah can’t go on holiday because she is scared of sweating, she can’t go outside in the rain and she can’t even get emotional because tears will spark physical agony. Niah joins us, alongside Dr George Moncrieff, to tell us more.

    I like how the doctor says that he is just a general practitioner who has in interest in dermatology rather than a "top dermatologist".

    I'm terrified to take a bath or get water on my skin. I've found the affirmation "There's nothing to fear." When repeated over and over greatly reduces the itching. Also, if I have dry clothes (long pants and sleeves) ready IN the bathroom to put on as soon as I get out, it barely happens. I can't be outside in humidity and even my own sweat causes itching. It's a very painful experience that causes anxiety at the same time. No one understands it and one time I went a month without bathing because the itch was so bad. It is a sad condition for sure. However, sometimes water doesn't affect me at all. I can't figure out why it happens sometimes and not others.
