Ramy Gamal Talks about Living with Vitiligo

Egyptian singer Ramy Gamal got candid about his vitiligo disease and the ordeals he dealt with after diagnosis.

In a new interview, Gamal pointed out that vitiligo has no cure but there are many medicines that help to prevent the spread of the disease, but he is prohibited from taking them due to his diabetes.

The singer shared that at the beginning he used to see the disease as a problem, but noted that he later found it to be a love and test from god.

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that causes the loss of skin color in blotches.

It can affect the skin on any part of the body. It is more noticeable in people with dark skin.

The diagnosis also includes premature whitening or graying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard, the loss of color in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose, and the inner layer of the eyeball.

Vitiligo can start at any age but usually, appears before age 20.

Gamal was diagnosed with Vitiligo in November 2019.
