Boy With ‘Werewolf Syndrome’ Says Kids Are Scared Of Him
Boy with ‘werewolf syndrome’ says kids are scared of him and worried he will bite them. The appearance Lalit Patidar’s face is much like the mythical creature of a werewolf, hence the name for the condition, and he has opened up on how kids are scared of him in India.
A teenager who suffers from the rare “werewolf syndrome” has revealed how small kids are scared of him and worried he will bite them like an animal.
Lalit Patidar, 17, from India, was born with Hypertrichosis, a condition characterised by abnormal hair growth on the face, arms and other parts of the body.
The appearance of his face is much like the mythical creature of a werewolf, hence the name for the condition.
The student from the small village Nandleta in Madhya Pradesh is one of only fifty people who have been diagnosed with the condition since the Middle Ages.
“I come from a normal family, my father is a farmer, and I am currently a senior in high school studying in 12th grade and at the same time I help my father in his farming work,” said Mr Patidar.

The boy with ‘werewolf syndrome’ says kids are scared of him and worried he will bite them. The appearance Lalit Patidar’s face is much like the mythical creature of a werewolfsaid small children used to get scared seeing him, and as a child he did not understand it but as he grew up he realised that his condition was not like everyone else.
He continued: “Kids were worried I would come back to bite them like an animal.”
Hypertrichosis is an abnormal amount of hair growth over the body. The two distinct types of hypertrichosis are generalised hypertrichosis, which occurs over the entire body, and localised hypertrichosis, which is restricted to a certain area.
Several circus sideshow performers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Julia Pastrana, had hypertrichosis.
Many of them worked as “freaks” and were promoted as having animal-like traits.
Mr Patidar said: “I have had this hair my whole life, my parents say the doctor shaved me at birth but I didn’t really notice anything was different about me until I was around six or seven years old.
“That’s when I first took notice that the hair was growing all over my body like no one else I knew.
“My schoolmates used to tease me, they would shout at me ‘monkey monkey’, people tell me that it is very scary, and people also tease me by calling me a ghost, they think I am some sort of mythical being but I am not these things.”
“When I was young, I had people throw stones at me, that is unfair to a child who has never known any different.”
The older he has got the more he has reckoned with the rare condition.
“I slowly realised that I have hair all over my body and I am different from common humans in a good way, I am unique,” he said.

He continued: “I got to learn many things during my journey, most importantly I got to learn that I am one-in-a-million, I should never give up and live life to the fullest I always want to move forward and be happy.“
