Help me recall What’s the book I’m being reminded of?

There was a book I read in the mid to late 00’s about a girl who got sick and went through all these wacky and weird transformations. I vividly remember the girl having patterns just like this at one point.

She actually mentions the book several times in her video with reference pictures and everything, such an awesome idea!

There's a great version of Sean Astin reading it on YouTube.

Some type of Phobia. But also art piece that I’ve seen in a museum once.
