Yami Gautam opens up about her incurable skin condition: ‘I found the courage to share my truth’

Actor Yami Gautam opened up about her incurable skin condition in a long post on Monday. The actress shared a string of pictures from a shoot on Instagram. In her post, she revealed she has been dealing with Keratosis Pilaris, an incurable skin condition. Yami Gautam mentioned that she has been dealing with the condition for “many years”. The Bhoot Police actor said that her condition causes dry and rough patches with tiny bumps on the skin. She revealed she made the post as she finally decided to let go off her “fears and in securities”.

In the post on Instagram, the Uri: The Surgical Strike actress said that when the photos were about to go for post-production work, to “conceal” her skin condition, she decided to not go ahead with it. Yami said, “I thought, ‘Hey Yami, why don’t you embrace this fact and accept it enough to be okay with it. Just let it be’ (Yes, I do talk out loud to myself). For those who haven’t heard about this, it’s a skin condition wherein you get tiny bumps on the skin. (sic)”

She added, “I promise they aren’t as bad as your mind and your neighbor aunty makes it out to be. I developed this skin condition during my teenage years, and there is still no cure for it (sic).” The actress continued, “I’ve dealt with it for many years now and today finally, I decided to let go of all my fears and insecurities and found the courage to love and accept my ‘flaws’ wholeheartedly. I also found the courage to share my truth with you. Phew! (sic)”

Yami Gautam mentioned the reason behind her talking about her condition with her followers on social media. “I didn’t feel like airbrushing my folliculitis or smoothing that ‘under-eye’ or ‘shaping up’ that waist a tiny bit more! And yet, I feel beautiful,” the actress concluded her post.
