All representations of men with horns usually appear in ancient legends and mythologies, and are usually representations of demons or even gods, and although it seems that it comes from the imagination of combining the image of an animal with the human, they may have an origin more real than expected. And is that in recent years took some people fame with a kind of disease that made them grow horns in the head.
Surely the most famous case was that of Zhang Ruifang, a woman with more than a hundred years who had a report by the peculiar bulge that grew in his head and that seemed, indeed, a horn. Many rumors appeared around his case, because some media said it was a unique case, while others claimed that it was something normal and that it could be the inspiration of ancient myths. The fact is that in modern history there are more cases than you could imagine.
One of the oldest was that of a woman with a strange horn on the right side of her head, which looked like the horn of a ram, in the curious way it twisted at the tip. This was recorded in 1688, the year in which he died, and there are drawings in which the doctors tried to represent his illness.
Another case was Lin Wen Teli, a Chinese with a large horn that grew at the base of his skull. In the 50s he was offered a large sum of money to go to the United States to study his malformation, but because of his advanced age he could not travel, and he lived with the horn until his last day.
The truth is that devil has little or nothing, since this evil is produced by a process of keratinization of the skin that may have been caused by squamous cell carcinoma, viral warts, keratosis, keratoacanthoma, Bowen’s disease, seborrheic keratosis or the basic cell carcinoma. In summary, many of these cases are due to malignant tumors that simply must be removed, and in the rest is nothing more than unsightly.
And the funny thing is that even though this can be found in the whole body, the vast majority of the time it appears in the head, and although there are cases registered all over the world, from China to Mexico, in the Asian country it is where cases exist and continue to exist, generally in the longest population, although there have also been cases of young people of 20 and 30 who suffer from it. They can usually be removed, but despite all this, it is a good theory for the origin of mythological demons.
