Medical Mystery: Boy's Skin Branded with Religious Passages

LONDON -- Doctors in the United Kingdom are baffled by what they have found on a 9-month-old's skin.

The Sun reports passages from the Koran were written all over the baby's body.

The word "Allah" appeared on the boy's chin soon after he was born. Since then, his parents say scores of Arabic writings have emerged.

The Sun reports these passages show up on the baby's back, arms, legs and stomach.

His family claims the old markings vanish before the new words arrive and this happens twice a week.

The parents tell The Sun, "It's impossible to hold him when it's happening, his body is actively moving, so we put him into his cradle. It's so hard to watch him suffering."

His mother, Madina, said that she and her husband were not religious until the words started appearing on his skin.

Doctors say although they cannot explain his mysterious condition, they deny that the marks are from someone writing on the child's skin.
