i have an urge to cut his thingies with a file thingy or a razor

lol.
yah idk why he doesnt.

Yeah, these cases are quite old now. And for the record, not all of those things can just be sliced off, because a great deal of it is directly attached to his skin. Some of it is actually cut off, though, during the first procedures of "treatment."

I quote treatment because the only treatment we can provide for them is quite insufficient, unless there's been some recent medical miracle regarding this condition that I haven't heard of yet.

there are doctors in indonesia
but it's not a very developed nation
and it encompasses many small islands
and it's not a very common condition

Uh, medical science isn't all that developed in Indonesia.

You can't just remove it because it comes back. It has to be treated, not just removed.
