Man has 4-inch 'devil horn' removed from head

A man in India recently had a four-inch hornlike growth removed from his head after it began causing him pain, and after attempts to trim it by a local barber stopped being successful.

The 74-year-old reportedly injured his head about five years ago, which at first resulted in a lump, SWNS reported.

“Initially, he ignored it as it did not cause any discomfort,” Dr. Vishal Gajbhiye, told SWNS of his patient, Shyam Lal Yadav. “Also, he got the growth cut by the local barber. But, when the lump hardened and started growing further, he approached the hospital at Sagar.”

Gajbhiye said he diagnosed his patient with a sebaceous horn, also referred to in medical cases as a devil’s horn. It typically occurs in a sun-exposed area of the face and hands, and is made up of a keratin mound, according to a case report documented in the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health.

Gajbhiye removed his patient’s growth with a sterile razor and used a skin graft to close the opening in his head, which has “now healed completely,” according to SWNS. The growth was found to be benign, but he likely faces treatment in the future to prevent regrowth.

According to SWNS, Gajbhiye submitted the case to the International Journal of Surgery because of its rarity.

He could have just worn a tall hat over it, but he had to go get all that attention.

These lasts posts of Lemon, she probably was in pain while writing many of them

I don't think she let anyone from the forums know what was going on

The last convos I had with her were in the Thirdrail

I remember one of the last PMs we exchanged, she had something very enlightened and deep at the forums and I just wanted to let her know she really was someone special, I felt I needed to do that for some reason

Lemon was one of the nicest people around these boards and truly miss her posts. Too bad we lost her before covid hit, she would have made the funniest comments about all this crap.

I had no idea at all that she was sick... she was fun and bubbly as always right up to the end... we loved to flirt and tease each other back and forth, we'd always joke around and have such a good time... and then I heard that she was gone and a piece of me went with her... man I sure do miss her.

RIP miss Lemoan, you are missed.
