62-year-old Mohammad Umar from the Indian city of Hyderabad suffers from a rare disease of neurofibromatosis, in its severe form. This disease was passed on to him from his mother, who had benign tumors on her arms
Don't look impressionable
However, Muhammad was born a healthy child. Tumors began to appear on his body at the age of 14, and since then they have only grown, covering new areas of the skin. At that time, the doctor diagnosed Muhammad with a terrible diagnosis and warned that benign tumors would only grow in the future.

But the worst part was that there was no guarantee that this disease would not be inherited. Muhammad Umar did not dare to marry until the age of 28, when he met the love of his life, Farhat-un-Nisu. She did not pay any attention to Muhammad's appearance, since in her opinion he was a good person. They got married, despite the fact that many loved ones were against it.
Now they have 4 healthy children, the oldest of whom is 25 years old. However, Farhat-un-Nisa still fears for their health, because a terrible disease can manifest itself even in adulthood.
Muhammad tries to behave like a full-fledged head of the family. However, those around him are wary of him. He was kicked out of his job, tenants do not want to rent him an apartment, and acquaintances avoid him, believing that the disease can be contagious. Muhammad is called the bubble man. But, the man does not despair.
