12 years old boy's skin turns to stone

Damour is a boy who was born with a skin that is very hot and as hard as stone. The boy’s name, Damour, is a French word which means love. No one ever touches him before.

His skin sometimes becomes very hard and hot so they normally cools it down with cold or warm water.

They never thought he was going to live for long. Surprisingly, he is alive and it seems like he would live for long though he can't perform of the things kids does and no one has the intention of playing with him.

They used to call him a frog. He wears heavy clothes because if the material is weak, his hard and hot skin will get it spoilt.

According to Joseph, his father, when the boy was born, they thought he was a devil and they got scared. The doctors were saying it might be a skin disorder. So the doctors told them to send Damour to a better hospital where they can get a remedy to it before the situation gets worse.

Those hospitals too were very expensive and they couldn’t afford so Joseph and his wife brought the him home and tried local medicines on him but it didn't workout.

His condition is now getting worse. Damours' skin is becoming rougher and rougher each and every day. It is now turning into stone and it heats up like fire everyday.
