'Werewolf' girl covered in thick black hair due to rare condition lives 'like a recluse' to avoid bullies

A girl who suffers from a rare genetic condition known as 'werewolf syndrome' lives her life with a body that's completely covered in thick black hair.

Bithi Akhtar, who is 12-years-old, has been suffering from the condition since birth, but when she reached puberty it became more troubling.

Last year, the middle school student, who is from Tangail district in central Bangladesh, also had an abnormal growth spurt in her breasts.

Her mother, Beauty, 27, reports that by the end of the year they were so big that Bithi was not even able to stand up straight under the weight.
