Does Baby Nathania Have A Rare Skin Disease As Claimed In A Circulating Facebook Post?
On June 11, 2025, a popular Facebook page, Jesus Daily with over 33 million likes and 31 million followers share a post with a video claiming that a child named Baby Nathania suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder that causes severe blistering, skin loss, and pain, adding that 80% of her skin is gone, and she requires daily pain medication, urging the public to donate $5 to help ease her suffering.
The 2 minutes video shows a little child with severe blistering and skin loss with the caption, “Baby Nathania lives in constant agony from a devastating rare disease called EB, which causes her skin to blister and tear, leaving her in unbearable pain every day. With up to 80% skin loss, she urgently needs daily pain medication just to make it through each day. Your $5 donation could provide enough pain medicine to help ease Nathania's suffering and make sure she never has to go without relief. Thank you so much for your love, kindness, and support”.
When this report was published, this claim had 1.7 million views with 8 reactions and over 2,200 shares.
VERIFICATION
What is epidermolysis bullosa?
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic (inherited) disorders that causes your skin to be fragile and blister and tear easily. Blisters and sores form when clothing rubs against your skin, or you bump your skin. Mild cases of the disease usually cause painful blisters on the hands, elbows, knees and feet. However, tears and blisters can appear anywhere on the body. EB symptoms can range from very mild to very severe.
Epidermolysis bullosa is caused by an inherited gene. You may inherit the disease gene from one parent who has the disease (autosomal dominant inheritance) or from both parents (autosomal recessive inheritance).
Is The Video Real?
To ascertain the credibility NV-A did some keyword search for any medical report linking Baby Nathania on EBRESEARCH PARTNER but no medical journal, and from the link embedded in the post no other nonprofit registry confirmed the existence of a child named Baby Nathania suffering from EB with 80% skin loss.
The video was further analysed using Deepware.ai to determine its authenticity and assess whether it had been digitally manipulated or generated by AI. The result revealed the video as being digitally altered.
Also, the researcher checked to see if baby Nathania’s story and appeal had gone viral but found that the posts shared about her were from specific platforms. On Facebook, it was shared by the Jesus Daily page and Samaritan Global Foundation; on instagram by Nobabyblisters in October 2020; on TikTok by no.baby.blisters and the donation page is linked to nobabyblisters.org.
Meanwhile scamadviser rates the nobabyblister.org and its donation page as untrustworthy with 44% rating respectively.
The Jesus Daily Page and No Baby Blisters seem to be legally registered organisations as they file IRS taxes. There is however no solid source to verify how their donations are being used, according to multiple sources on Reddit.
CONCLUSION
While the disease described is very real and devastating, the babies’ identities cannot be verified and the appeal appears to be a scam. Hence, it is UNPROVEN that there is a baby Nathania who has a rare case of Epidermolysis Bullosa.
