There's a world out there, on the edge of human space, where a virus has spread that rots off human skin. They interact with aliens more then humans so there's not much fear of it spreading, but for the people on that world it's like humanity is slowly being eaten away.

Most people can't afford to quarantine or to go off world. It's attached to everything, it's in the water, in the air, in the soil. After a few decades everyone is infected, children born on the planet are born infected, it's just a matter of when it begins to take hold.

People live their lives with their skin slowly rotting away. It just looks like they're pale and sickly at first, but then slowly, useally starting with the fingers, it starts to take them. Due to technology on the planet being sufficiently advanced it is survivable, but the rotted skin must be replaced with an artificial skin, that looks and feels like black rubber. In the early stages it looks like someone is just wearing black rubber gloves, but as time goes on it gets to take up more and more of the body. By the end stages everything is replaced with a shiny black covering, the face has to be replaced with a device that looks like a gas mask as the mouth and eyes are particularly ravaged by the virus. Due to eating being impossible when someone's face is replaced injections must be taken regularly.

People live their lives mourning what they've lost. They'll go to the beach for one last time. Eat their favorite food knowing they won't be able to. They'll ask their loved one's to play with their hair or stroke their skin before it's gone. People will make love for the last time before the virus takes their genitals. They'll look at the things and people they love before their eyes are made lidless and covered in glass. Its made worse by its slowness, everyone counting down the moments, and watching as they lose more and more of their bodies.

But people can cope. They can still live even once the virus has taken everything that it can. People start customizing their artificial skin with paint and stickers. Some people add loose hoods or even wigs to their skins so they won't look bald. They end up picking out masks that they feel suit them the most, changing them sometimes. People live entire lives without skin, when you're like that for long enough it stops being your top priority. You have to live your life nomatter the pain, though once all your skin is gone you end up more numb then you are in pain.

Eventually most of the humans on that planet reproduce through cloning. Sex is mostly out of the picture once you don't have skin, but humanity still needs to exist. It's important to people that humanity survives on this planet in a part of the galaxy where humans are rare. After a few generations people are skinned at birth, as it's seen as less cruel then letting them feel the pain of losing their skin. And when you're in a world where nobody has skin, having skin seems weird and scary. Eventually warriors and nobility from this planet opt for a more metalic and armored artificial skin, further changing how this branch of humanity relates to its condition.

When a fleet of humans from another planet comes to visit that world, hoping for an alliance between fellow humans in a place where humans are rare, they don't even still see eachother as being part of the same species.
