Daily living is a bit different for Anna. Each day, Anna's skin is covered with sunblock and lotions. She must remain indoors to be completely safe. Before going outdoors, Anna must wear, long pants, long sleeved shirts, gloves, sunglasses, and a custom made hat with a specialty UV-blocking plastic face shield.You'll understand better after reading these answers to the common questions.
