A baby with skin as delicate as a butterfly's wing is so fragile even a gust of wind could hurt him. <br /><br />Little Abe Hersham, 10 months, suffers from epidermolysis bullosa (EB) - an incurable and degenerative genetic skin condition which causes internal and external blisters at the slightest friction. <br /><br />His condition is so severe that if the wind blows in the wrong direction, he could get a wound on the cornea of his eyes - which could cause vision loss - and his parents have to bathe in him bleach to sterilise his wounds and prevent them getting infected. <br /><br />His parents Alex, 37, and Natasha, 29, a stay-at-home mum, have to replace his bandages twice a day to make sure everything is ok.
