Television personality Paolo Bediones admitted to one of his social media accounts a secret he kept “almost half of his life”.

Paolo Bediones is a Filipino television host, newscaster, and radio commentator.

On the social media accounts of the television personality, specifically his accounts in Facebook and Instagram, he posted the biggest secret of his life and the followers of him aside from being so shocked with his revelation also got inspired because of his courage and bravery to finally confess it.

What’s been posted on his Facebook is just the same to that on his Instagram and below is the contents of his confession:

“I HAVE A SECRET

Look at me. Look closely. What if I told you that I have been keeping a secret for more than half my life? A secret that I used to be ashamed of until I found comfort in knowing that there are others who kept the same thing hidden. Some weren’t good at concealing it, while some, no matter what they do, could not hide it.

Look at the picture again. You want to know my secret?

I HAVE PSORIASIS. Don’t worry it’s a non communicable skin disorder. It is NOT CONTAGIOUS. It’s a painful, chronic disease characterized by incessant itching and scratching. Occasional bleeding and scabbing. Reddening of the skin and flaking. It’s not pretty for sure, but I have been hiding it well.

More than 2 million of my KABALAT in the country suffer the daily plight of flare ups that are mild to severe, that happen during bouts of stress and heat, and sometimes it’s caused by the food we eat. Some have even perished from the ordeal.

Everyday we have to mentally prepare ourselves before we go out into the world. Each one of us insecure, knowing someone will notice the discolored patch of skin or the white flakes. Knowing someone would like to ask about it, but feel uncomfortable doing so. Ask us about it and we will gladly share with you.

If you, a family member, or a friend share these symptoms, look up Psor Phil and please see a specialist and learn about the various forms of treatment that exists.

If you know anyone with psoriasis, hug them.
If you see me on the street, hug me.”
