The boy submerges himself in the water to relieve a burning sensation on his skin
A 16-year-old boy spends most of his time submerged in a pond to relieve the symptoms of a mysterious skin condition.
Iqbal Sheikh, from Murshidabad in West Bengal, India, experiences a painful burning sensation on his skin, and his family have taken him to several hospitals as well as traditional healers, but none have been able to identify the condition, and it has not improved.
This means that the 16-year-old has spent most of the last five years submerged in a pond, as the cool water helped to provide some relief from the painful sensations.
Videos of Iqbal recently surfaced online, showing the teen mostly submerged in the water and eating some snacks.

It’s understood that Iqbal has been living with the condition for several years, though unfortunately no-one has been able to diagnose it, Gulf News reports.
