Girl’s Skin Turning to Cowhide?
Mermaid girl? She’s real. The baby with two faces? She’s real too.
But the girl whose skin is supposedly turning into cowhide? I call fake. Take a look:
Not that the story isn’t plausible. Metro UK is reporting that a small growth on Li Xiaoyuan’s back grew rapidly and now covers her back, arms, and face, making her skin look like the hide of a cow.
That I can believe. There are plenty of weird and strange disorders out there. But this picture? Uh-uh. A) That’s no six-year-old girl, and b) PHOTOSHOPPED.
TLC may eventually prove me wrong with one of their notorious specials: “Secrets of the Cow Hide Girl,” but until then you just can’t convince me that photo is real.
What do you think? Real or fake?
