A mother and father have been left distraught because of a rare disease afflicting their son which has forced furry hairs to grow on some parts of his body. Zhang Daojiang, the boy’s father, who is a construction worker and his mother who works in a small restaurant in the city discovered his face, neck, hands, back and buttocks completely covered with dark hairy moles when the baby boy was born some years ago.

 

As he grew, so did the moles on his skin, which soon became rough and fury. When the boy was taken to a specialist hospital in Leshan, they were told by a doctor called Zhing Yi that the child was suffering from the congenital skin disease, and the chances of this happening to a newborn baby are one in two million. In Chinese, the disease is translated as ‘beast skin mole’ (shou pi zheng). 

 

 

 

Doctor Zhang also told them as the boy develops the disease could lead to skin cancer, so he needed treatment immediately. But the parents do not have money for the expenses that could change the life of their boy. 

 

The cost of treatment is estimated at around one million Yuan (£100,000) which is a considerably large amount of money for a waitress and a construction worker where they live. The couple have already spent all their savings to help see if their boy will get the needed help.  Some of the villagers from where they live helped with the funds to get him to the hospital for treatment. 

 

 

It's reported that the young boy’s father almost gave him up to an orphanage because he could not bear the cost of medical bills, but a relative helped him out so they didn’t lose him. It is unclear whether or not the boy will go through with the three years of treatment. The couple wish help can come from well-wishers to save the life of their boy.
