Now she's being recognised by fans online, including kiiirrra who commented: "You are extremely beautiful and very inspiring. My 5-month-old daughter was born with a large birthmark and is continuing to get small ones. Some days I feel sad but your posts make me feel better... Thank you for sharing."

asking about repost !Today i want to tell you about one important subject for me, it concerns to thousands people like me. However, this conversation will be about my particular feelings. As you can see in the photo, my skin is not the same as yours. And it is very noticeable because I'm all strewn with brown spots of various sizes, which are called - #birthmarks . It is not hereditary and occurs with one person per 500.000 The most common question I hear is “where did they come from?”. Well, I was born like that. There can be a lot of guesses, assumptions and other things, but nobody knows the true origin ( except the physiological processes in the body, such as the generation of abnormal (excessive substance called " #melanin ", which gives the pigmentation). In those times when I was born doctors didn’t face with such diagnosis at least in Ukraine and gave not favorable prognosis. But my mom has never gave up and didn’t listen to anyone , she was always looking for any information. You even cannot imagine how many people we met and how many treatments we have tried. Only when I turned 7 years old, we found out how it is called and how people can live with this. Moreover, it is possible to do a surgery , such as skingrafting. In my case it could be more than 12 operations. But of course no one gave promises or any guarantees that it will not exacerbate my condition. We decided not to do that cause of personal reasons which I prefer not to point. So why I am writing this? In order to try to convey people once again that I and such people are not "lepers". No need to feel an aversion to us, all the people on Earth have birthmarks (Vetiligo etc.) on theirs body. We just have them in bigger quantities and in different sizes. I can give you one simple example of my life. I love summer and sun which is forbidden for people with moles., as well as many other joys of this time of year. But when the heat comes – it becomes a disaster for me cause it is very difficult morally to put on some open clothes Why? Why do I feel slighted? Because the majority of people are beginning to show with all their appearance that I differ from them.CONTINUE 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

"Doctors were shocked because they had never seen such an extreme case.
"There were lots of moles all over my small body and they said to my family that they didn't know how much time I would stay alive.
"They gave me only hours, everyone was so depressed, but I was stubborn and continued to live for days which then turned into weeks, then months and then years and I'm still here."
