Joseph is a father to Damour, a boy who was born with a skin that is very hot and as hard as stone. As a result, bans people for touching his skin for very long.
His name, Damour is a French word that means love. No one ever touches him at all because of his skin, unfortunately, sometimes his body becomes so so hot that his father would have to be pouring water on him. (See the picture below)
According to the father, when they gave birth to him, they thought that he was a devil and they got scared.
They did not think that he was going to survive for long with a skin like this, however, fortunately, he is sound and alive and it looks like he is going to live for long, even though he cannot do some of the things kids normally do, like playing with others.
At first, they use to call him a frog because of his skin. The clothes he wears immediately gets dirty and they get hard because of how hot his skin is. As a result his parent always bought him heavy clothes because if the material is not strong they get spoilt.
Everything was normal with the wife during pregnancy until delivered. The baby was pulled out and the doctors were shocked about its skin, saying it might be suffering from some skin disorder. They were advised by the doctors to take their baby to a very good hospital where they can get treatment before the situation gets worse. Those hospitals too were very expensive and they couldn’t afford them.
The boy's dad, Joseph and his wife brought the baby back home. They then decided to try local herbs on him with hopes that things will change but all failed. His condition has gotten worse as he grew up, his skin is becoming rougher and tougher each and every day.
It is a very strange skin condition.
