Dede Koswara
Abul Bajandar was not the only man to live with a tragic case of epidermodysplasia verruciformis. In 2008, a man named Dede Koswara went public with his own tragic tale of living with EV. The 34-year-old Indonesian man appeared on television programs like Discovery Channel's My Shocking Story and ABC's Medical Mystery to talk about living with this condition.
Pounds Off
Like Bajardan, Koswara had hoped for removing warts and growths from his skin. He was able to receive a similar surgery that took 13 pounds of warts from his body. The procedure happened in three parts. First, removing the thick carpet of warts and horns on his hands. Next, the doctors would handle removing smaller warts on the head, body, and feet. Lastly, they covered his hands with grafted skin.
