16-year-old Mithun Chauhan suffers from an extremely rare genetic condition, which has left him with large swollen lumps all over his face and body - so severe he struggles to eat, see and breathe.
Known as Bubble Wrap Boy, he’s so disfigured that rumours have emerged in his village that a reclusive monster lives there.
He was asked to leave the school because he scared the other children after he developed lumps all over his face and body due to rare genetic condition.
Mithun’s family believes he was 'cursed' by the gods and have performed rituals to try and cure him, but there is hope that medical science may be able to treat him.
