Bizarre skin condition

This is a photo of an anonymous man somewhere in Eastern Europe suffering from a very bizzare skin condition.

You can read the full story here but I have enlarged and rehosted the most significant photo here, because the original is quite small.

Anyone have a guess as to what this is?

definitely a condition known as digipilius, or finger piles.
This is not common in the west, but is prevalent throughout Romania's farmlands, where hand contact with the genitals or anus of infected sheep can cause a creeping rash which blooms into a thick wooly fungal growth, particularly in the warmer weather.
Certain types of cheese (commonly eaten in this part of Romania) act as a catalytic enzyme for the spread of the disease.
As the unpasteurised cheese is contaminated by the hands and then eaten, the ailment spreads rapidly, through breaching the gastro-intestinal tract and blooming through the skin via bursting of the capillaries.
Many Romanian farmers also indulge in relations with sheep, thus making the ailment prevalent amongst these type of degenerate barnyard gypsies
