Valentina Ferragni and the conspicuous scar: "It was a malignant tumor, never diagnosed in a 28-year-old"

"The day has come and it took me a while to realize it. Unfortunately it was not a cyst, but a basal cell carcinoma, a malignant tumor localized in a specific area, not the most dangerous to health, but to the skin." Valentina Ferragni, who after having undergone surgery in recent days to remove what for months had appeared to her as a very banal pimple, confirms that she has received the most feared response from the histologist.

On the forehead, the now conspicuous scar and a further clarification: "The doctors told me that it was the first time they saw this carcinoma on a person of my age, 28, usually it comes to people around 50/60 years upwards, so it is rare and very difficult to diagnose ”.

"In this year the carcinoma has changed 'face' many times - Chiara Ferragni's sister continues - for a few months it seemed to disappear, then slowly came back, but it started bleeding around September 2021, then it pretended to be healed in October ".

"This f *** o carcinoma is like this - continues the influencer - remains silent for months, then bleeds for 2 days, then returns to normal but continues to grow under the skin day by day".

"As I have already told you - the recommendation to all his followers - it is essential to go to the doctor if something is wrong, if something does not go away, if you are feeling strange. I am 28 years old and this cancer is rare on people my age, luckily I got it in time ".

Valentina Ferragni had to defend herself in the stories from the attacks of social media haters, from those who wished her death to those who accused her of having staged everything for a bit of popularity.

"I have always published part of my life on social media - he wrote - how could I have hidden a patch and a 5 cm scar? only for followers ".

The 28-year-old then clarified how her intent is also to raise awareness among young people on the importance of prevention, especially when it comes to skin cancers, diseases that are increasingly widespread and too often underestimated.

For her, a great message of encouragement from her sister: “You are very strong and you are going through everything with the best possible energy: I am super proud of you”, Chiara's comment.
