Mar\u00eda Guaita&#039;s hair began to fall out all at once, as if it were a crazy nightmare or a horror movie.

Suddenly, the girl was hairless and overweight, a metamorphosis very difficult to digest in the often cruel world of teenagers. \u201cIt was a very hard blow. Being so little, you ask yourself many things: Why me? Why did it happen to me? I had a very bad time in the first few years,\u201d Guaita, who has just turned 18, now recalls.
