Student Narrative
In the beginning of 2022, I contracted Stevens Johnson Syndrome. With a death rate of 10 - 30%, this severe illness has caused large areas of my skin and mucous glands to wound and regrow. The aftermath of this condition is hyperpigmentation and discoloration all over my body. These areas of skin are still a sensitive part of me, both physically and emotionally. But I am gradually learning to appreciate this array of pink on my body, that formed who I am today. So here are the swatches of every shade of pink on me.
