Very shocking..?? indeed..!! I really feel sorry for this man .. by the name of Dede Koswara aka the Tree Man Of Java. Look at his hands..!!! how was he gonna do anything with hands like that.. and folks that donch know him.. would probably freaked right out.
He is said to be a very normal kid.. with only a bump that started .. and then developing all these warts that spread all over his body … and his hands and even face were covered with them. His wife of 10 yrs even left him.. because of his barklike growth.. for he wasn’t able to support her or their children. And I read that he was performing in some traveling freak show.. to support himself..!! not that is sad.. i really feel for this man.
Dede Koswara suffers what is known as a rare condition called epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Even i can’t pronounced nor spelled it .. much less know what the hell this is. B\but i know that this disease is caused by HPV .. that leads to the growth of macules and papules on the skin especially the hands and the feet. I am just so happy for him.. for being able to get treatment. This American dermatologist from University of Maryland.. called Anthony Gaspari .. prolly saved Dede’s life.. and gave him… a reason to live on.. .and even find a new love.. when he is cured.
