Rare Condition Causes Pregnant Mom’s Body To Break Out With Thousands Of Lumps

Libby Huffer, from Fort Wayne, IN, She was born with quite a few beauty marks. She had a normal childhood, until her teenage years when they started to escalate.

She was bullied in school for her appearance, and decided to change her name from Elizabeth (aka“Lizard Breath” ) to Libby.

When Libby became pregnant with her daughter, the hormones caused her small lumps to multiply into thousands. She was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1. Libby now has over 6000 lumps all over her body. They are noncancerous.

“I tell children that I’ve been kissed by angels and they don’t say anything, but most adults don’t know what the condition is so I have to explain it,” she said. “I’ve been bullied and victimized my whole life because of the bumps all over my skin. They cover me from head to toe.”

Libby is determined to make people aware of the condition and help out others who suffer the same.“I just really want people to know what it is,” Libby said.

She hands out pamphlets to the public to inform them and their children about neurofibromatosis. The bumps cause chronic pain and the mother is hoping to raise money on GoFundMe for a surgery that would substantially remove hundreds of the small tumors.
