As strange as it sounds three sisters are afflicted by one of the strangest condition in the world.

The Sangli sisters are suffering from a rare genetic disorder referred to as werewolf syndrome – where they are covered from their head to toe in very thick hair.

Named Savita, 23, Monisha, 18, and 16-year-old Savitri Sangli, who live in a small village near Pune, doctors believe they contracted the hypertrichosis universalis disorder from their genetic father.

Hypertrichosis universalis is a unusual genetic mutation, by which cells that normally turn off hair growth in uncommon areas, for example the eyelids and forehead, are left turned on.

The girls have abnormal hair growth on their faces, affecting their eyebrows, nose and portrays them a beard.

To combat the problem the sisters use hair removal cream to keep their condition under control on a short term basis.

The cost of a laser surgery is around Rs 3,50,000, but the family is not wealthy enough to afford the expensive treatment.

The girl’s mother Anita Sambhaji Raut has six daughters in total with three of them having werewolf syndrome.
