Next up is a man with a severe skin condition that affects his entire body. He has been dealing with it for years and has never sought medical help because he is too embarrassed to show his skin.

He is overwhelmed with relief and gratitude and finally feels like he can move forward with his life.
The third patient is a young woman who has been struggling with chronic acne for years. She has tried every over-the-counter product available, but nothing seems to work.
