I was touched by the responses to the post. “
She wrote on Instagram,
Hi everyone, my Insta family, I recently took some photos and just as they were about to go into post-production (a common procedure) to cover up my skin condition called Keratosis Pilaris, I thought, ‘Hey, Yami, why don’t you accept this fact and accept it enough to accept it? That’s it… (yes, I do talk out loud to myself). “
Yami added,
For those who haven’t heard of this, it’s a skin condition where tiny bumps appear on the skin. I promise they are not as bad as you think and your neighbor’s aunty makes them out to be) I have had this skin disease since I was a teenager and there is still no cure. “
