In china, there is a who was left with mysterious stripes all over her skin after using a cream she bought online leaving doctors amazed . 

This 40 year old woman known by the pseudonym Tingting, was admitted to Zhongda Hospital Southeast University in Nanjing last month, report the South China Morning Post (SCMP).The SCMP claims hat Tingting turned to the cream after she developed red spots and itching on her lower right leg ten years ago, with lesions spreading over her body.  
As her itchiness worsened she became desperate for relief, but rather than seeking professional medical help she turned to the internet to try and find a solution, where she came across a widely promoted skin cream.
While the name of the product wasn’t disclosed, the seller claimed it was made from ‘pure traditional Chinese medicine‘ and ‘could cure all kinds of skin disease’ which was enough to convince Tingting.
She purchased the cream and used it religiously for the past 10 years, spending over 100,000 yuan, equivalent to approximately £10,500 ($13,900).
When I first started using it, the anti-itch effect was remarkable. I thought I had finally found the right medicine,’ she said. But while it initially appeared to stabilise her condition, she says her health has recently declined. 
This began with her presenting with alarming symptoms that saw her entire body covered in what appeared to be a pattern of snake-like, purplish-red fissures.
