One in a billion: what an unusual teenager with werewolf syndrome looks like (1 photo + 2 videos)
An Indian teenager has an unusual condition that causes his face to be 95% hairy. He is one of 50 documented people with werewolf syndrome since the Middle Ages. 
18-year-old Indian teenager Lalit Patidar is the owner of the hairiest face among people (men), listed in the Guinness Book of Records. The unusual guy has a special disease called hypertrichosis, which manifests itself in excessive hair growth and is much less common in men than in women. However, Lapit does not suffer from this: the guy has managed to accept his body and love it.
201.72 hairs per square centimeter — this is the scale of Lalit's facial hair, with which he managed to become a world record holder. In percentage terms, this is 95% of his face. Such a case, according to experts from the Guinness Book of Records, happens once in a billion.
Despite the fact that Lalit looks very unusual and can even scare other people, he accepts who he is, although in childhood he had to go through many trials: his classmates did not immediately accept him. However, over time, people realized that behind the shaggy face there is a completely ordinary person.
"It's only on the outside that I look different, but inside I am no different," the guy says.
Sometimes Lalit faces a situation when strangers tell him to cut his hair and shave his face. However, the young man does not want to do this and does not plan to do so - at least for now.
"I tell them that I like who I am and I do not want to change my appearance," says the record holder.
The family completely accepts the young man as he is and supports him in his choices and dreams.
What is werewolf syndrome
Hypertrichosis (werewolf syndrome) is a disease that manifests itself in excessive hair growth that is not characteristic of a certain area of the skin and does not correspond to age or gender. This disease may not always manifest itself on the face, sometimes it is completely different areas of the skin, for example, the chest in women.
Open sources say that the disease mostly occurs in women, much less often such cases are recorded in males. Therefore, the case of Lalit from India is truly special.
