Unfortunately They Look Like Warts. He Neds Treatment In Europe Or The Us, Or Hopefully Thailand And The Internet Can Help Him, I Wish I Had The Money To Help. Maybe Someone Out There Is Rich Enough.......no Joke.

^ Ya, and at what should be the prime of his life. Immigration blocks from both US and Indonesia it seems. Just don't let Michael Jackson get involved.

I'd think they are worse than warts, looks like they are growing over his eyes too! hard roots! ouch.

They Are Warts, See Thread To Telegraph And Put The Money Up.

I hope this case gets more teaching docs involved. The poor man's finger/toe nails are like dragon talons. I hope he is not in physical pain as well.

[Silent Orchestra]

I saw this the other day. He's not in pain, but mentally he must be drained.

[Jet Gorgon]

^ That is a bit of good news. But agree, SO, mental anguish.

it is ordinary wart virus. but he has a weakened immune system.

he was filmed and tested by a discovery channel team.
