A woman with a skin disease she dubbed a "plague" had to stay in bed for 10 months and spent years in agony before finally getting diagnosed.
Kira Archuleta, 24, was afflicted by a severe form of the rare skin condition Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and was cruelly dubbed 'Freddy Krueger', the character from A Nightmare on Elm Street, by bullies.
Boils and lesions would appear if she scratched them and then spread across her body.
