For so many years, different kinds of bizarre illnesses, ailments and any other viruses have evolved and discovered through the best of science. On this present day, an old woman has been discovered living with hundreds of massive tumors covering her whole body for almost her entire life. The woman has been suffering with this for over 60-years. Because of it, sadly, she was actually being rejected and avoided in her community. She was called “The Potato Woman”.
According to Express UK, the old woman’s real name is Hosineara Begum, and she was born with a pimple on her upper lip and small bumps disseminated all over her face all the way down to her neck. But after a radside clinician cut it off, Hosineara claims the pimples have unfortunately spread all over her entire body, some even growing up to the size of a tennis ball.
In addition, conferring to a report from Mogaznews En, she was not really like that in her early marriage days. She was a happy girl who was only 16 when her father married her off to a laborer in a village in Narayanganj district of Bangladesh. The two were madly in love and had a son a year later. Recalling her early marriage days, Hosineara says she was a decent-looking woman with little bumps on her face and neck. But soon after her condition started worsening, her husband Arzu Mian drifted into depression for failing to fund her treatment and eventually died.
With her state deteriorating and her character vanished behind those tumors, the old woman, who lives with her only son and his family, has turn out to be an exile in her village as no one would want to see her. The emotional old woman said: "The tumors hurt. These hurt badly. I scratch all day and sometimes even blood comes out. I cannot take this pain anymore. No one talks to me or meets me. People even turn around if they see me from a distance. Children are sacred of me. Even my grandson who is only three sometimes cries when he sees me. I live like an outcast. I think the only way I can be freed from this pain is by death."
She cannot talk, eat or wear clothes properly. She covers herself with soft cotton saree-a traditional six-yard piece of cloth, so the tumors do not hurt. With no treatment for several years and no home remedies helping her heal, Mrs Begum eventually resorted to Homeopathy and while she says, the medicines helped a little, she could not continue the treatment because of lack of money.
His son said: "Mother had seen medical representatives at several healthcare but no one could tell why she had these big tumors and if any treatment is possible. Above all these, if only there were people who are able to help her, she could have treated her condition successfully. Her life wouldn’t be this dreadful and horrible.
