Dede is a 35 year old Indonesian man who suffers from an extremely rare condition caused by human papillo****rus (HPV). The virus has caused him to develop massive warts on his hands, feet, and face. The warts started growing when he was 15 years old after he accidentally cut his knee while working on a construction site. The warts on his hands and feet grow about three to five millimeters each month and have grown so long they resemble the roots of a tree. Hence he has been referred to as the
"Tree Man".
