  The Juans vocalist Carl Guevarra has revealed his condition called ‘alopecia areata,’ June 20, Sunday.

  On his Twitter account, Guevarra shared his painful journey in curing his rare condition. “No one probably loves bald patches, but you are lovable even with these patches. My hair is a part of who I am but it does not define my worth,” he wrote.

  “More than the physical effect, the mental exhaustion and psychological trauma greatly affects patients with this condition. For we do not know when it will appear or go away. So please be kind to those who are going through it,” he added while calling for everyone to remove the stigma around the condition.

  Alopecia areata, as Guevarra described it, “is an autoimmune condition where my immune system attacks my own hair follicles. Several factors affect it and there is no known cure apart from anti-inflammatory modulators through steroids,” he shared.
