Staff Reporter Alex Batchelor

A 27 year old father and husband from Bangladesh, Abul Bajandar, had suffered from a rare condition that made his hands grow tree-like warts. He had lived with it for years before beginning surgery last February. He has had 16 surgeries so far and will undergo more in his future. He suffered from epidermodysplasia verruciformis.There has only been a few cases of it around the world. He had first noticed the lesions when he was 10. Eventually, they growths covered his hands completely. Before surgery, he could not eat, drink, or take care of his hygiene by himself. The growths were taken off by lasers.
