Flesh-eating face ulcers and pus-filled boils have left me looking like a Zombie
A MAN says he's been left looking like a zombie after a rare skin condition caused his face to break out in dozens of flesh-eating ulcers.
Steve Young, 32, started getting painful sores and pus-filled boils across his face, chest and arms 18 months ago.
"I went in for four biopsies and no one could seem to determine what was going on.
"For 18 months I had no idea what was going on, I was tested for all sorts of things even though I had about 14 boils across my body.
"Throughout this time the ulcers got larger and larger and more and more painful."
He said: "I've tried all sorts of medication and nothing seems to work.
"I've been on steroids for 18 months and I've put three-and-a-half stone.
"All I want is to live a normal life and to get back to work. For the condition to go away would be the world's best Christmas present. It would be a breath of fresh air."
