2. The 5-year-old boy who had horn implants to remove a birthmark
Doctors have treated a young boy with a large birthmark on his face by implanting horns in his forehead. George Ashman, was born with a bright red blemish on his forehead and his mother Karen, feared he would endure a lifetime of bullying. When he was four, he underwent a surgical procedure to stretch the “normal” skin on his forehead so the birthmark could be removed and covered with the new unblemished tissue. Doctors inserted two tissue expanders under the skin, which gradually inflated so they looked like two perfect devil’s horns.
