4 Lbs Of Bark Like Material Removed From Man!
DOCTORS have removed almost 2kg of warts from an Indonesian man dubbed "Tree Man" because of the bark-like growths on his hands and feet.
Dede Koswara could now hold a pen and could see the outline of his toes for the first time in more than a decade after surgeons began removing the huge warts from his limbs, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.

That's so freaky it doesn't even look real. It looks like the barnacles that you see on the piers and ships at the beach.

Here's the rest of him. Man, that is just hard to look at. Poor guy! the man with him is an American Dermatologist that thinks he can successfully treat him. The condition is now life threatening

I don't know how the doctor would know where to start. Do you think there are blood vessels or nerve endings in that stuff? Bless his heart. We have it so lucky in America.

Dermatologist Anthony Gaspari of the University of Maryland in the US diagnosed Mr Koswara as having the human papilloma virus (HPV) and a rare immune system deficiency.
Because of his weak immune system, warts caused by the HPV grew into tree-like growths.
The warts appeared on Mr Koswara's skin after he cut his leg when he was 15.
Here's a video of him that shows a lot more of what he has to deal with, again, he's very hard to look at
