#THREAD | The curious case of how the hands of this 21-year-old Pune girl changed colour. indianexpress.com/article/cities…
Her handwriting almost matches her original, but what has left doctors surprised is how the colour of Shreya’s hands, which once belonged to a 20-year-old man from Kerala until his death in August 2017, had changed to match the rest of her skin tone. indianexpress.com/article/cities…
“I don’t know how the transformation occurred. But it feels like my own hands now. The skin colour was very dark after the transplant, not that it was ever my concern, but now it matches my tone,” she says.
