Has anyone heard about a rare disease on newborn babies with no skin on the palms and soles, whats its name?

harlequin ichthyosis.

There are many different rare disorders that children are born with that affect their skin...I watched a show a couple of nights ago about one, can't remember the name but this covered their whole bodies...I had never seen anything like it, It kept me up until 2 am watching it.

I looked it up and it is the one mentioned above...they had a show about it on TLC, if its not that one I'm not sure, I couldn't find anything that specifically said no skin on hands or feet.
