Tree Man Syndrome
A condition that turns a person into a “tree man” is never a good thing. Known as Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, this genetic skin disease often results in scaly macules and papules on feet and hands.
People with Tree Man syndrome are often vulnerable to the human papilloma viruses. The good news is that it is very rare and a tiny percentage of people have ever contracted the disease. However, no cure currently exists for patients.
