7-Year Old Boy Who With Hands & Legs Like Trees, Finally Gets Help From Doctors (Pictures)

Category: Health Matters

A 7-year old boy suffering from a rare condition of the skin that makes his hands and feet look like trees is for the first time getting help from doctors to treat the rare skin condition.

Ripon Sarker from Thakurgaon, Bangladesh suffers from the condition epidermodysplasia verruciformis, which causes abnormal susceptibility to human papillomavirus causing the growth of scaly warts.

The young boy was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital on August 20 for treatment for the first time, as his family couldn't afford it.

His father Mahendra Das said: 'They haven't carried out tests on him. Physicians say they will look into this matter before treatment.'

Poor Ripon cannot walk or eat by himself because of his tree-like hands and feet.

Doctors are hopeful that his hands and feet are operable as his fingers and toes can still be identified.
