Strange and true story: The image of a boy with two mixed skin colors touches millions of hearts.
As parents, everyone wants their children to be born and grow healthy and strong. However, not every child is born lucky. Maybe when children are young, they don’t care about their physical differences with their peers. Gradually, you will realize that the way people look at you is not the same as they look at their friends. And the comparison of differences in appearance is growing more and more inside the child.
There was once a father who shaved his head to look like his child who was losing his hair due to chemotherapy for cancer. There was once a father who had a very large scar tattooed on his body to resemble his child’s scar, to help his child feel less self-conscious. And two years ago, parents of children with albinism simply invited each other to contact a person calling himself PearlyBabesReborn (roughly translated: Doll recycler) to order dolls with vitiligo just like him. their father.
This father’s son has vitiligo..
It is known that PearlyBabesReborn is a father whose son has vitiligo – a disease that causes the skin to lose part of its melanin pigmentation for reasons. It usually appears on the face, neck, chest, limbs and is usually distributed symmetrically both sides of the body. Because he didn’t want his son to feel sorry for himself because there was no one else like him, he decided to invent a doll with vitiligo like his son.
Therefore, he created a vitiligo doll that looked exactly like his son.
He shared: “When I created my first child with vitiligo, I found it very different. I tried to make it a light skin tone. I repeated the process of applying powder and baking it to melanin-pigmented skin areas many times, so that the doll woυld look like my own child.”
