In 2005, Yuzlina Che Yaacob experienced three life-changing events: she got married, she got pregnant and she got her first episode of generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP).

As suggested by its name, GPP typically presents as pus-filled blisters (i.e. pustules) on reddened skin, which can affect large areas of the body.
