Kapanlagi.com - Actress Kartika Putri became a topic of discussion on social media because of her appearance due to suffering from stevens-johnson syndrome. As is known, stevens-johnson syndrome is a rare but very serious skin allergic reaction.

"I just wanted to show to most people who are not familiar, 'wow, artists don't have pores and are perfect'," said Kartika Putri when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (21/5).

Kartika Putri added that the main purpose of showing her swollen and reddened face on social media is so that people don't need to be afraid of the disease.

"Actually, we are ordinary humans who actually have scars from suffering from stevens-johnson syndrome. So actually, I just wanted to show it, no need to be afraid," she said.

Now the wife of Habib Usman is still undergoing treatment for her skin affected by Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Although she is already in the treatment stage, Kartika admits that her skin condition is still not smooth.

"If it were me, of course, I would make an effort. Surely, any woman would, but I don't want to be too persistent because I'm afraid it might trigger it even more. I'm afraid it might get worse. So, I'll just take it slow. Enjoy every process because I'm just a human, not perfect," she said.

2. Wanting to be an Inspiration

On the other hand, Kartika Putri also wants to inspire people who have problems with their facial skin. According to her, people should remain confident and not feel discouraged even if they have skin problems.

"So, I want to inspire people out there who may have problems with acne, spots, or other issues. Don't feel discouraged, don't feel down. Stay confident, it should be normal. Even I, as a human, have skin problems," she said.
