Jesús Aceves has hypertrichosis, which makes his hair grow abundantly over his face and back. Because of his condition, he’s also known as The Wolf Man. But he’s tired of this alias and wants to live a normal life.
Meet Jesús Aceves, a 55-year-old man born with a condition called hypertrichosis, which means he has abnormal hair growth over his body, especially his face. Although married with kids, Jesús isn’t fully happy with his living conditions. He says he and his family suffer discrimination. In an interview, one of his kids mentioned, “People call me names, and they even tell their kids not to be my friends.”
He worked in the circus all his life, traveling through several cities. But now, he’s tired of being seen as a freak. As a consequence of years on the road, he’s been known as The Wolf Man.
Back home and not in the circus anymore, he’s facing another challenge: finding a “normal” job. He needs to support his family since his wife works in temporary jobs.
After several failed job interviews, he agreed to try something he had always avoided: shave his face. He relied on his family barber to transform him, even creating eyebrows and lashes.
The experience was difficult since the face is an extremely sensitive body area, but both he and his wife believed that simply by shaving, he would be able to find a job.
Jesús did several interviews, and it’s confident that now he’ll find somewhere to work besides the circus. If this happens, he must shave his face every 2 days.
Although rare, some conditions aren’t impossible to have. Luckily, people find a way to overcome the difficulties a rare condition brings and strive in life. Hannah Tyre, for example, was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, meaning that her bones break very easily. But her love for makeup made her an internet influencer, reaching millions of followers. We hope that, by reaching the mainstream media, people with genetic diseases won’t suffer more discrimination.

Doctor Says KATE MIDDLETON May Not Be Able To “Move Around Normally” For Months After Surgery
Kate Middleton underwent abdominal surgery at a private London hospital, according to Kensington Palace. While the operation was successful, she will remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days and is unlikely to return to her royal duties until after Easter. The surgery has raised concerns about her health, with fans expressing their well-wishes.
Experts suggest that Kate’s extended hospital stay could indicate a more challenging recovery ahead. Dr. Deborah Lee explains that post-abdominal surgery, most patients stay for four to seven days, and it can take two months or more to return to normal mobility.
Prince William will take on more responsibilities, caring for their three children, with the help of their longtime babysitter, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo. Kate’s previous surgeries and her discomfort with hospitals are also mentioned.
While the exact reason for the surgery remains private, Kate’s health is of concern, and she will need time to recover fully. We all wish her a speedy recovery.
