‘You can see my f**king scalp’: Kurt Coleman reveals his HAIR is falling out in clumps after being rushed to hospital with pancreatitis – as he shares grim health update
Kurt Coleman has given fans a grim update on his health, weeks after being rushed to hospital with pancreatitis.
Posting to Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the Melbourne influencer, 24, told fans he’s been battling with extreme hair loss since leaving hospital, and now doesn’t feel ‘pretty’ enough to appear on camera.
‘What’s happened to me the last few months has really affected me. Like, I just don’t feel the same. And like, so much of my hair’s fallen out. It’s just been crazy,’ Kurt lamented, his head covered with a beanie.
‘So, when my hair is getting back and I can work out again, and I feel pretty again, then I’ll probably be videoing myself again,’ he explained.
Kurt, who previously described his stay in hospital as ‘traumatic’, went on to add: ‘I’ve just been going through so much and I don’t feel like being on camera… actually, it’s the last thing I want to do, and it’s usually the thing I love doing the most. But right now, I really just don’t feel like it.’
In an unfortunate twist, Kurt said he’s been struggling with more than his health of late, after discovering a mould infestation in his new home.

‘I just got out of hospital and then I moved house the next week, and found all that mould,’ he said.
‘So literally, this week has been the first week where I’ve been just relaxing all day in pyjamas and chilling. And it’s making me feel so much better, way less pain and everything.
Kurt finished his video by sharing a heartbreaking confession about the lifelong consequence of his hair-loss battle.

‘I’ve been going through heaps and changing my mind with what I want to do with my hair, so now I have chosen to just be on a pill I’ll have to take for the rest of my life,’ he confessed.
‘My hair has been falling out for a while, but after I came out of hospital it’s just, like, you can see my f**king scalp,’ Kurt added.
In the caption, the internet sensation hit back at critics accusing him of being ‘vain’ for worrying about his hair.

‘For everyone saying it’s not that bad… I know… but for me it is. I don’t feel like myself without my hair so it hurts me,’ he snapped.
‘People can say that’s vain but how I look makes me feel happy? If I look yuck I feel sad so maybe I am vain. And I don’t really care if I am or not.’
Kurt previously told fans that excessive alcohol consumption was behind his pancreatitis diagnosis.
