Celebrities with Skin Conditions
In an episode of “Keeping up with the Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian revealed a nasty rash to her dermatologist that ended up being psoriasis. This autoimmune disorder is a persistent and chronic disease, even though there are times when symptoms can improve. While there isn’t a cure for psoriasis, there are many treatments and lifestyle changes that can offer relief to patients. Kim Kardashian’s openness about her condition has helped to raise awareness. Both genetics and the immune system play a role in this condition, and Kim’s mother Kris Jenner was also diagnosed with psoriasis at age 30.
