Sarotin, 46, from Indonesia, has suffered from the unsightly rare skin condition for three years and is forced to beg in order to make a living.
She has had a local government-funded operation to remove a 70.5kg tumour from her back but the condition is showing signs of growing back.
Half her face has been obscured by a tumour as well as hundreds of smaller ones covering her entire body.
Widowed Sarotin, who has four children, says she could not afford medical treatment in her home village in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
She says all she hopes for is to fully recover so she can “be beautiful like most women.”
