Singer Seal Face Scars, What Happened to Seal’s Face?
Grammy Award winning R&B and soul singer Seal appeared on today’s Oprah Winfrey Show. British-born Seal, who is of Nigerian origin and full name Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, talked with host Oprah Winfrey about his career, love with wife Heidi Klum and their unborn child. After noticing Seal’s face scars from the TV, many are curious to know a bit about them. So what happened to Seal’s face? Xomba simply put, “He has or had systemic lupus. The doctors had to remove some muscle tissue from his face.” But a more comprehensive answer should be at Wikipedia:Although there have long been rumors as to the cause of the scars on his face, they are not the result of a tribal scarification rite. Seal’s appearance is the classic example of the condition discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Seal has revealed in interviews that he was afflicted with this syndrome as a teen, a condition where the immune cells attack various body tissues; DLE usually affects young people. Intense inflammation develops in the skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas, and if not treated aggressively with sun protection and anti-inflammatory medicines, scarring can result. Not only did it cause the cheek scars, but he had significant scalp involvement, causing hair loss. The singer’s condition has been in remission for years.
