Édouard Philippe suffering from alopecia

Like his counterpart in Rouen, suffering from bladder cancer, Édouard Philippe had publicly spoken about his illness, alopecia, which caused his hair and beard to turn white, before losing a good part of his hair and its hairiness.

A disease “neither dangerous, nor contagious, nor painful, but visible” which would affect 60,000 to 120,000 people in France every year, an “anything but neutral” experience for the former Prime Minister and boss of the Horizons party.

Sudden regrowth of hair

But, observers of local and national political life will have noticed, Édouard Philippe has recently been sporting newfound body hair. “Last June, it started to grow back, without treatment or operation. It made me funny,” he explains to our colleagues at Parisian. “I feel like I'm going through puberty again. And it turns out that the hair that grows back is black. My daughter said to me: 'It's the return of the panda!' And that made him laugh. I somehow came back from among the bald. »

What will boost him for his future presidential campaign, he who no longer hides his desire to run for the Élysée?
