Meet the one-in-a-million 'moon boy' who wears a plastic visor wherever he goes because he is allergic to the SUN.

Oliver Kei, seven, was diagnosed with rare genetic condition xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) when he was 18-months-old after he developed dark freckles as a baby.

The disorder, which is estimated to affect one in a million people in the US, means his skin cannot repair damage caused by exposure to the sun’s rays and other UV light.

Oliver is also 1,000 times more likely to develop skin cancers than the average person so his family must take extreme measures to protect him.
