I decided to take this picture with a water drop since I have aquagenic urticaria which is an extremely rare condition - according to DermNet there have been less than 100 cases been reported in the medical literature (source: https://dermnetnz.org/topics/aquagenic-urticaria). But I also have other rare conditions and feel with all the other patients who suffer from insufficient care in the medical and social system. We deserve better and I'm happy to spread the light.
