A woman who was told she had scabies had actually become allergic to her own skin while pregnant, and still suffers blotchy red outbreaks over 10 years later.<\/p>\n

Ashton Brown, 33, suffers from a rare pregnancy-related autoimmune skin disorder that leaves itchy blisters over the body, called pemphigoid gestationis.<\/p>\n

After she began getting itchy palms and feet she visited her family doctor and another emergency room before landing with a dermatologist who identified the disease so rare it affects one in every 40,000-50,000 pregnancies, according to Healthline.<\/p>\n

"In the beginning of my third trimester, I would be going to sleep and would itch really badly," said law firm case manager Ashton, from Morganfield, Kentucky, USA.<\/p>\n

"I would constantly be itching on my palms and feet and couldn't fall asleep because of it. I felt like my skin was crawling."<\/p>\n

When she began getting red bumps on her body, Ashton went to the emergency room where she was told she had scabies. When blisters began forming, medical staff told her they didn't know what she had.<\/p>\n
