Pruthviraj Patil, an 11yr old boy, has suffered from hypertrichosis since he was born. Hypertrichosis is a rare genetic condition known as Werewolf Syndrome and it’s believed only 50 people in the entire world suffer from it. They have tried laser treatments to remove the hair but it just keeps growing back.
I like the ankle jewelry in this next one.
now i know what happened to alyssa milano.
Hey, why cure it–make him a “God” or a Yogi…
Yuck…but very creative…
The Lord Bless and Heal these worthy souls. 1Cor.2:2
annie - “very creative’?!?!?!
Lady this is real!
That’s quite the social stigma, but otherwise not too bad.
I wonder how fast the hair grows back.
I imagine it’s curable, but encountered so infrequently that not much time has been spent researching it.
Anyway he’s much better off than Tree Man

or Harlequin babies.
oops just noticed you already had an article about the Tree Man.
Poor kid. Laser hair removal is not as permanent as electrolysis, although it’s more popular. I expect they just need to connect with the right practitioner.
I think he is the most precious, sweetest, looking babyface ive ever seen. one very precious child!!
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Piffle!
