"An 11-year-old boy whose face and body are covered with hair is baffling medical experts."

Wow.
Poor kid...
Yeah. Poor kid.
I wonder why laser doesn't even work on it
He should look on the bright side...they might not card him if he buys beer
He has kind eyes,that is an awful burden for an eleven yr old.
That poor guy...
i thought teen wolf always had the ladies....
ohh man that sucks for the kid.
daily shaves might help
I heard about a whole family (father and two or three sons) who had this condition, and they're very proud of it. It was on Ripley's or something several years ago.
For some reason, and I'm not saying it really is, this photo looks photoshopped to me.
Awww, I hope they find a cure for it. This probably hurts his self esteem a lot, among other things, I really hope they find something to help him, as well as the others who have this.
The least they could do is call this rare condition something less distinctive and negative. It's like calling acne the Pizza Face Syndrome.
Why is it awful? Because he looks different? I don't understand why people have that view. Does he want a cure because he thinks he looks like a freak or because everyone else does? =\
@Allen_Oz - I agree completely. That was my first thought.
he looks like a really sweet boy, but what 11 year old child doesn't?
@DAVERAVEdotNET - Daily shaves of his whole body? At eleven? Yeah, that's an awesome fix.
"werewolf boy begs"
what a lovely, suiting title.
:/
:T
Could he shave or wax it all off?
That's actually kinda neat looking. Sucks for him, but for anyone without it, it's interesting.
Theres probably some evolutionary advantage to it. If the world freezes over he might be able to survive.
Three words: Laser Hair Removal.
Woaah! Crazy.
