In 1993, this boy was born with enough skin for a five-year-old. But when we look at him today it is difficult not to shed a tear

Remarkable Birth

In 1993, Tomm Tennent was born in South East Australia with enough skin to cover a 5-year-old. Doctors were baffled by his condition. “When he came out I was quite shocked (…) I didn’t think a human, or a little baby, could ever look like that,” Tomm’s dad, Geoff, told 60 Minutes Australia. Despite the surprising ultrasound results, his parents decided to keep the baby, embarking on a challenging journey.

Medical Mystery

Tomm’s excessive skin puzzled medical experts. He spent two and a half months in a medical center undergoing tests. Researchers eventually noticed similarities between Tomm and the wrinkled Chinese Shar Pei dog breed. They discovered that Tomm’s Hyaluronic acid level was 100 times higher than normal, similar to Shar Pei puppies. Thankfully, as with the puppies, the condition was expected to improve with age, which it did.

Growing Up

Tomm faced challenges, including teasing at school. However, he made many friends and remained a kind, loving person. In 2003, he said, “Not really (…) because they are my friends and they don’t really care how I look like.” His parents always believed that “beauty comes from within, and is more than skin deep.”

Today

Now 28, Tomm leads a happy life in Frankston, Victoria, Australia, with his wife, Hannah. His Facebook quote, “Life’s simple. You make choices, and you don’t look back,” reflects his positive outlook. When asked if he would change anything about himself, Tomm replied, “Probably nothing.” His story is a testament to resilience and self-acceptance.
