KIM’S STRUGGLE Kim Kardashian shows off her real red, bumpy skin during psoriasis flare-up in rare unedited video
KIM Kardashian has shown off her real skin during a psoriasis flare-up.
The Kardashians star revealed her flaky patches of red, inflamed skin during the third season premiere. In the installment, Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, 67, walked inside Kim’s mansion and discovered the empty hallways.
Kris finally found her daughter Kim in the bathroom, washing her hands. The Hulu star wore a white tank top with shorts as she showed off the flare-up on her bare arms and legs.
Although Kim’s mother pitched a collaboration with the Dolce & Gabbana fashion house, Kris could not look away from the dry patches on Kim’s skin.
Psoriasis is a skin condition in which cells build up and form itchy and dry patches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kim has struggled for years with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, which she treated with cortisone sH๏τs.
‘ALWAYS FELT HELPLESS’
Last year, the SKIMS founder opened up about the condition on her sister Kourtney Kardashian’s lifestyle site, Poosh.
She said: “Even though I always grew up with my mom having psoriasis and hearing her talk about her struggle, I really had no idea what my life would be like dealing with an autoimmune disease myself.
“It’s been 13 years since I experienced my first psoriasis flare-up. My journey has been very different from my mom’s, but I see so many similarities as well.”
The reality star continued: “She had it in her scalp and all over her body, and I’d see it all the time and remember her going to the tanning salon to try and ease it.
“Getting UV rays directly on the spots really helped my mom. For me, however, that remedy would burn the areas and cause them to itch, so I always felt helpless.”
Kim shared she is “the only child my mom pᴀssed down her autoimmune issue to” and mentioned her “first psoriasis flare-up” happened at the age of 25.
‘MOMMY MINION
In August 2022, Kim’s eldest daughter, North West, nine, covered up her skin condition with makeup in a Tiktok video.
North painted the pink patches with yellow face paint, added purple shade to her lips, and black lines around her eyes to the Minions cartoon characters.
The makeup tutorial added the text: “Mommy Minion” to describe the final result.
‘MOST INSANE NARRATIVE’
Kim and her ex-husband, Kanye West, share their four children: North; Psalm, three; Chicago, five; and Saint, seven.
Also during the premiere, the mom of four opened up about Ye’s series of nasty online attacks against her and her now ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson, 29.
She cried: “Even through all the craziness of all the things Kanye says about us, I never comment.
“I never post, like, he has made up the most insane narrative about you and the tape, and we stay silent. She closed: “We stay silent through all the lies and the stuff.”
The TV personality felt “really heartbroken for my mom” over the situation.
