A man with skin that has left him feeling like a ‘crocodile’ is in so much pain that he can’t even wear clothes, and has opened u about the ‘living hell’ he faces in a stomach-churning clip.
Jimmy, whose body is covered in dry skin that often bleeds due to itching, is visiting Dr Pimple Popper after suffering from immense pain.
In a preview clip, he is seen scratching all over his dry body, to the point where he causes himself to bleed as he peels his own skin off.
Jimmy says: ‘These bumps are all over my legs, my arms, my back, my chest, feels like I’m running my fingers over a crocodile.
‘Being in my skin, it’s an itchy hell.’
He goes on to explain: ‘Everyday it’s a hell waking up, I know I’m going to be scratching and what not, I try to occupy my mind with other things just to keep my mind off it.

The video then cuts to uncomfortable clips of Jimmy itching over his body and pulling at his dry skin.
‘Because clothes hurt so bad, I have to wear shorts and no shirt or just a tank top,’ he continues.
‘The worst part of my body are my legs. With the scratching and everything, if I don’t keep my fingernails short, I’m just ripping the skin and sometimes it bleeds really badly.’
