Now, however, there could be hope for Iqbal and his family to identify the strange condition which has been affecting him all these years.
After the story began to circulate on social media, it caught the attention of Anant Ambani, one of the richest people in India.
Ambani has reportedly intervened, and has organised for Iqbal to travel to Mumbai where he can receive more specialist evaluation, a journey of over 1,300 miles.
Hopefully, this will lead to a diagnosis and he can receive treatment to help manage the health condition, without having to resort to the relief from a pond.
Doctors are now anticipated to carry out examinations and evaluations of Iqbal to put together a plan for treatment or management, and it is expected that they will focus on managing the condition.
While it is not known what Iqbal is suffering from, some doctors have reportedly come out with one theory about the cause of the teenager’s pain and discomfort based on the symptoms that he has exhibited.
This a health condition called erythromelalgia.
Some of the symptoms of this rare condition include a burning sensation in the skin, as well as feeling warmth or redness.
Erythromelalgia explained
According to the NHS, erythromelalgia mostly impacts the feet, but can also affect other parts of the body as well.
