With his unusual appearance, young Hoang (12 years old) in Hung Thuy commune, Le Thuy district, Quang Binh province had to live in guilt. I am attending grade 7, the commune's junior high school.

Ms. Vo Thi Nghiem, Hoang's mother said, since birth, her skin has been gray with a coat of coat covering. The bigger the body, the more dense the hair on the body is, the dark skin color is like the color of coal ash. Currently, except for the face, arms and legs from the knee down, it is normal, the rest of Hoang's other body parts are covered with black.

' His father saw that he was too afraid, so he left, and since then, Hoang's grandchild has lived very inferiorly because of the whole hair body. Every time I hear others mentioning from forest people, werewolves, or hairy people, I cried, demanding to drop out of school , 'Nghi said.

Loving children, she also tried to find a teacher, to find medicines to run, but so far there has been no result because most people think that Hoang has a strange disease.

The hot summers like the last one, Hoang was miserable by the thick hair that made her very itchy and uncomfortable.

A doctor at Hue Central Hospital said that Hoang had hypertrichosis - also known as werewolf syndrome. Expression is the amount of hair, the body hair grows abnormally. The first case in the world was discovered in 1648 in the Canary Islands. Since then, there have been about 50 patients with the syndrome were discovered, such as in Russia, India, the US and Thailand . Even a family in Myanmar has up to 4 generations all over the hair body.

Currently, scientists still do not have specific conclusions about the cause of this disease as well as have not found effective treatment.
