The grossest picture you will see this week.

I can barely get through this post. I could barely read the article that contained said picture. This picture disturbed me even more than seeing my first japscat video all those many years ago during the spring of my youth. This is more disturbing than goatse and tubgirl put together.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to trivialize or make fun of this guy. I feel really bad for him. I do. I really hope they find some way to treat him, but jebus, that’s just an awful sight.

Have I got your attention? Or have I already grossed you out? If you’re still curious about the aforementioned picture, here’s a description of what awaits you after the jump:

A friend of mine has a relative who is a missionary in Eastern Europe. He recently shared photographs and the story of a man he is caring for, who has an extremely bizarre skin condition. The man has keratin-like matter growing out of the skin on hands and feet, which started when he was young, and very slowly continues to spread and grow. The areas begin as skin lesions, and the matter sprouts from those spots. The growths are very difficult to remove, and the man has so far just had to learn to live with it. There are a few medical precedents to this man’s case, but nothing is certain until more tests are done. In the meantime, the missionary is helping to make life easier for the man.

I couldn’t bring myself to post the picture on the main post, because frankly, I don’t want to see that everytime I load up WDS. Also, it would be just mean to spring that image on an unsuspecting visitor. I hear there are more images on the original page, but I didn’t have the stomach to check it out. If you’re really curious, check out BoingBoing’s coverage, and go from there.
