Tiktoker Dai Cruz, symbol of an incurable genetic disease, dies at the age of 31

“I’ll show you how to make your life easier.” This was the message on Daiane Cruz’s profile, Come on, on TikTok. The young woman from the interior of Bahia has gained 2.4 million followers, demonstrating her good humor in the daily fight against a rare disease that causes extreme suffering.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is hereditary, rare, incurable and non-contagious. A genetic change causes severe blistering and sores on the skin, with pain comparable to second- and third-degree burns. The fingers end up “wrapped” limiting the wearer’s independence.

Looking like a child, Dai, 31, has made videos in which he describes the difficulties of living with such fragile skin and the fight against prejudice. Vain, she received countless compliments for her elegance.

Even with his arms and legs bandaged and with wounds on his body, including his face, he performed TikTok dances and comedic tendencies. Her activity seemed to make her happier.

Last year Daiane was being treated for leg cancer, according to the NGO Jardim das Borboletas, which provides care for people with rare skin diseases.

The fragile and charismatic influencer has become an example of resilience. The video app brought fame and provided friendships. The announcement of his death on his profile generated a wave of laments and tributes.
