Hello:

Below after seeing this, you may never complain again about anything in life! I've seen many terrible pictures of diseases but this guy is truly living in hell. This poor guy looks like he is afflicted with fungi. He is known as Tree Man.

It is a shame this guys affliction was not caught early enough. It is Horrible!

He is known simply as Tree Man.

Since he cut his knee as a teenager, strange roots have been growing out of Dede, a 35-year-old Indonesian fisherman.

Now he is hoping his life can be saved from his bizarre affliction.

The strange growths mean he cannot use his hands. He was sacked from his job and his wife left him.

To help raise his two children, at one point he joined a freak show with other victims of peculiar diseases.

An American dermatology expert believes he may be able to cure the warts on Dede's body.

Dr Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland says that a rare genetic fault will not allow Dede's immune system to stop the spread of the growths.

However, he believes a synthetic form of Vitamin A could stop the development of the warts.
