OG Maco shares update about his ‘skin-eating disease’
Rapper OG Maco, who suffers from a “skin-eating disease,” is on the mend.
Maco, 26, shared the details of his prognosis over the weekend, telling fans and followers on social media that he thanks both his medical team and God for the healing process.
“I was improperly treated for a minor rash and ended up with a skin eating disease for the last few months,” he shared. “This is the best I’ve looked. I hope it gives someone hope.”
The rapper says he suffers from necrotizing fasciitis, which according to the CDC, is a bacterial infection that spreads in the body and can cause death.
The bacteria most commonly enters the body through breaks in the skin like cuts, scrapes, burns and insect bites.
Unfortunately, much of his support system has vanished over the last three months.
“I’ve been going through this alone 90% of the time, without the support of the person I love, without most of my ‘friends,’ without anything but my own strength and God,” he explained.
Maco, who hails from Atlanta, is best known for his hits “U Guessed It” and “Doctor Pepper.”
“I’ve been scared a lot, I didn’t know what was going to happen, I didn’t know if I’d lose my entire face – I almost did,” he shared.
