Malting

Treatment

A change of diet, too much iron in a person's diet can have an effect.
Switching to different foods, ideally healthier foods.

Sometimes the condition is not biological but neurological and the need changes to removing stress.

Diagnosable fair easily.

The different cases are that bad diet lead to stiffness of the body, chunkier cases of shedding. Diet due to a lack of nutrients will produce a chunky flake but will also create a weakness of body which should already be in effect from lack of nutrition.

Psychological cases will lead to a sensitivity of skin, weaker flacking and in the most extreme cases, cracked and bloody skin. No one has ever seen a case where a person bled to death, but many have died of suicide or attack from outside forces, generally an animal attack, such as a Jokai, The Jokai being extremely talented in sniffing out the vulnerable.

Causes

The condition is naturally occurring, most especially in high-stress situations.


The most common case being in puberty, when the body undergoes the most changes.

It's not terminal, as it only requires positive health for the condition to be washed away. In some cases, an easing bath literally washes the condition away.

Other Ufele lose the strength behind their skin because the flaking took so much of their natural impenetrable skin away.
