Nurse Ricardo Lange speaks openly about his serious skin disease – and explains why it is important to show your true face even when suffering.

When I made a story or a video on social media, I covered it up with my girlfriend’s makeup. But often I held back for a long time, didn’t make any stories at all or at least made fewer videos. And then of course people asked: “What’s wrong, is everything OK, I haven’t heard anything anymore!”
