Fungal infection forces Mavin record artist, Johnny Drille to?cut his?trademark hair

Now wearing a low cut, Johnny Drille apparently had to wear the new look to be able to treat the infection.

Taking to the social media Instagram, Johnny Drille, explained his ordeal as thus “This will be a long read, so forgive me!

Some of you may have noticed I didn’t have my ‘signature’ hair at some point this year. Well, I had a terrible condition called fungal infection that slowly caused my hair to break, creating scanty patches on my scalp. 

 

Around January I noticed I had scales on my face but didn’t pay it any attention until it spread to my scalp and ears. I probably got it from a barber shop or hotel bedsheets that weren’t properly washed. I would spend the next two months assuming it was dandruff and trying to treat that. I saw that I was losing a lot of my hair and it was then I realized it wasn’t at all dandruff but something terrible. 

 

I had a dermatologist check and he diagnosed it as fungal infection and prescribed the drugs. Treating it has hands down been the hardest thing I’ve done this year. I had to shave all of my remaining hair to properly treat it. I can remember leaving the barber shop with my friend Obji and hating the guy I saw in the mirror, me. I was going to stay indoors for the next few weeks and go out only a few times aided by face caps and hats. I dreaded taking tablets prior as I’d rather just let my immune system fight whatever I was down with, but this time it was inescapable, I had to take dem pills. Treatment also didn’t come cheap, a Terbinafine pack of 14 tablets sold for NGN17, 000 and I must have taken around 6 packs of those. One mistake I made was not being faithful to dosage; at times I missed a dosage and woke up to more fungus on my face and hair the next morning. Another mistake I made was not correctly diagnosing it but assuming it was nothing serious.

 

Last week I took the last tablet of Terbinafine and I can now boldly say I’m totally free from that stubborn fungal infection that plagued me the most of this year. I also learned to take medication by myself (my mum or sister would usually force me to take pills then). It’s a pretty boring story but I wanted to share it so in case you experience something like this or anything suspicious, you should take action asap and not wait for it to get out of control.”

 

The singer, who is one of the last acts to join the Don Jazzy-led gang having joined in February 2017, is known for doing folk music. A product of popular music reality show, Project Fame West Africa, Johnny Drill has won the hearts of many with songs such as “My Beautiful Love”, “Romeo and Juliet” among others.
