There was once a father who shaved his head to look like his child who was losing his hair due to chemotherapy for cancer. There was once a father who had a very large scar tattooed on his body to resemble his child’s scar, to help his child feel less self-conscious. And two years ago, parents of children with albinism simultaneously invited each other to contact a person calling himself PearlyBabesReborn (roughly translated: Doll recycler) to order dolls with vitiligo just like him. their father.
This father’s son has vitiligo.
It is known that PearlyBabesReborn is a father whose son has vitiligo – a disease that causes the skin to lose part of its melanin pigment for unknown reasons. It often appears on the face, neck, chest, limbs and is often distributed symmetrically between both sides of the body. Because he didn’t want his son to feel sorry for himself because there was no one else like him, he decided to invent a doll with vitiligo like his son.
Therefore, he created a vitiligo doll that looked exactly like his son.
He shared: “When I created my first child with vitiligo, I found it very difficult. I tried to make it a light skin tone. I repeated the process of applying powder and baking it to melanin-pigmented skin areas many times, so that the doll would look like my own child.”
The complete work of this talented father.
Few people know that this is a doll and not a real person at first glance.
Immediately after the image of the vitiligo doll was posted on the internet, other parents quickly contacted this father to order a friend for their child.
A mother with 2 children with vitiligo ordered 2 dolls to be made for her 2 children with vitiligo.
