Kardashian Showcases Her Illness Through Photos

Kim Kardashian, the star of the American reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been suffering from psoriasis in recent years, according to Daily Mail. The 38-year-old has frequently addressed her illness during the show, but recently shared the specifics and manifestations of her condition with the public.

Kardashian opened up about her health on her sister Kourtney's Poosh website. It turns out that her condition worsened significantly after turning 30. This year, Kim experienced the most severe flare-up of her psoriasis, resulting in her entire body being covered in patches due to extreme exacerbation at the beginning of the year.

In an essay published on Poosh, Kim talked about her life following her diagnosis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Notably, her mother, Kris Jenner, also suffered from the same condition but managed to overcome it thanks to a special ultraviolet light treatment, which is not an option for Kim.

“I’m the only member of my family who inherited this disease from my mom. What a success, right? It’s been 13 years since my first outbreak of psoriasis. I was 25 at that time. I had a common cold, and since psoriasis is an immune system-related disease, it aggravated the situation.
