65-year-old pensioner, Diwakar Bisoye, from Odisha State, east India has been dubbed the "Bubble Skin Man" due to a rare skin condition which has left him with a four stone leg tumour and hundreds more across his body.

Diwakar said he has been treated worse than "a dirty stray animal" and explains that his condition has left him jobless for the past 15 years.

Dr Subramania Iyer of Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kerala says: "This is a hereditary genetic disorder and has at present no medical treatment. The only solution is the surgical removal of most troublesome swellings."
