A man has rare skin disease that makes his hands look like they have tree roots growing out of them.
Abul Bazadar, 25, pictured at a hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has suffered from 'Human Pappiloma Virus' since he was 10. 

He has been dubbed the 'Tree Man' and doctors from around the world are working on a cure.
Dr Samanta Lal Sen, chief coordinator of National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, said doctors will decide on his treatment after forming a medical board of experts.
Human papilloma virus is the name for a group of viruses that affect the skin and moist membranes lining your body.
