A Thai girl suffers from a rare disease. Ambras Syndrome made her look like a werewolf. Nevertheless, she managed to find her soul mate and even get married.
The problem of excess body hair worries the lion's share of women. However, we have no idea what it would be like to shave your entire face every day, including your forehead, cheekbones and nose. This is exactly what Supatra Sasupfan from Thailand has to do, who was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the hairy girl in the world. Since birth, Supatra suffers from a genetic disease: due to hypertrichosis, her entire body, including her face, is covered with coarse hair. However, the monkey girl, as Supatra was teased at school, was able to accept this trait and found love.
Supatra Sasupfan was born in a small Thai village. From birth, the entire body of the girl was covered with dark hairs, but her parents did not attach much importance to this. There are cases when babies are born in the so-called "woolen shirt". This is lanugo - hairy "fluff" that forms in a child in the second trimester of pregnancy and disappears at 33-36 weeks. Sometimes lanugo does not come down to childbirth, and the baby comes into this world "hairy". Then the infant fluff on the body falls out by itself.

Supatra's fluff did not fall out, and moreover, with each month of life it became thicker and denser. But the village doctor, to whom the child was regularly brought, could not give the baby any diagnosis. With the exception of hair, the girl was absolutely healthy in all other respects. She developed normally, was active, started speaking on time and walk, and enjoyed playing with her brothers and sisters.

For several years, the parents left Supatra's appearance alone and only periodically cut her forehead so that her hair would not get into her eyes. However, the moment the girl went to school, her life turned into a real nightmare. Classmates teased her with a monkey and a werewolf, cruelly taunt her and arranged real bullying. Every day Supatra returned from school in tears, and then refused to go to school altogether.

Then the parents took their daughter to Bangkok, where the doctors were finally able to make a diagnosis. It turned out that Supatra suffers from a genetic disease - this is Ambras's syndrome, he is also hypertrichosis or, in a simple way, increased hairiness.

Ambras syndrome is a very rare disease, with no more than 50 cases of congenital hypertrichosis recorded worldwide. Unfortunately, he does not have any treatment options and prognosis for recovery. Supatra begged her parents to send her to a laser hair removal course. After these procedures, facial hair began to grow even more and more intensely.

Because of her peculiarity, at the age of 9, Supatra became a real celebrity: she was officially entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the hairy girl in the world. Perhaps to some it will seem like child abuse, but after that Supatra was finally able to study normally at school. Classmates began to respect the record holder and stopped mocking her appearance. The girl even managed to find real friends.

The problem of excess hair has not disappeared anywhere, but it has ceased to be so acute for the girl. “I'm used to my hair,” says Supatra. - They do not bother me, because I have always been with them. I don't even notice or feel them. It's just that sometimes it gets harder to look around when they grow too long. But I hope one day they will find a cure for this. "

The peculiarity of the girl did not prevent her from meeting her true love. At 17, she met a guy who accepted her for who she is and married him.

Now Supatra regularly shaves his face and body so as not to be too different from a loved one. However, he does not force her to shave, and he himself says that he loves his wife not for her appearance, but for an open and kind soul. It seems that life has rewarded the girl for years of torment and bullying from others. Therefore, the only thing she is really afraid of now is that a rare disease should not be inherited by her future children.
