COULD THIS WOMAN BE POSSES OR AFFLICTION
Let's be fair: This is just a portrait of an unfortunate woman.
Unfortunate because she's lived just a bit too long and has grown to resemble some horror-trope crone. Unfortunate because she's clearly
suffering from some bizarre health issues. Unfortunate because she does not have access to care to correct these issues. And perhaps most
unfortunate of all, because she has given her body over to demons who
now walk the Earth in human skin, only distinguishable by their black
eyes and the
goddamn horns growing out of their heads.
This
is most likely a common skin condition called a cutaneous horn, which
is basically just compacted keratin -- the same protein in hair and
nails -- protruding from the epidermis. If this is indeed a cutaneous
horn, they're often benign and can usually be removed surgically. Though
that does not treat the underlying cause, which is either excessive sun
exposure to already damaged skin, or the devil coming to live inside
the empty shells left behind by suicides.
