Chinese “cat girl” stumps doctors

A six year old girl from China has a bizarre condition which has doctors stumped. Li Xiaoyuan from Fengkai, South China, had a birthmark that has been spreading all over her body, giving her the appearance of a “cat girl.”

A surgeon at Zhaoqing City Dermalogical l Hospital, Guangdong province, said Li Xiaoyuan may have a rare skin disease which makes her moles spread out control, until it affects half her body.

“None of the other children want to play with her, they are calling her cat-girl and are really mean,” said the girl’s father.

Although surgery could have been an option, it is too risky now, said doctors.

Poor girl, hope she gets her condition cured one day.
