Irish TikTok stars are taking part in challenge to live with their hands bandaged up to raise awareness of the painful skin disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

EB causes the skin, both inside and out, to blister and wound at the slightest touch – and the only treatment for the distressing condition is bandaging to prevent infection.
