“Not gonna lie this is painful”: Doctor Gives the Reason Behind Kim Kardashian’s Concerning Medical Condition

The celebrity has been known for her radiant and glowing skin and also manages her own skincare brand.

Kim Kardashian made headlines again, but this time, she revealed that she was suffering from a skin condition called psoriasis. The celebrity took to her social media to reveal increasing red marks on her legs, which is reportedly a symptom of psoriasis. She mentioned that she did not know what the triggers were but that no cure seemed to work.

Kardashian’s condition was investigated by experts, and one skincare expert particularly blamed the media personality’s erratic work schedule to be one of the reasons for her developing the disease. Skincare expert Amish Patel also mentioned that multiple reasons could result in psoriasis and the trigger needed to be found to find a way to manage the disease.

Kim Kardashian has been taking her fans and followers on her journey to recovery from psoriasis. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease that causes patchy skin due to the rapid multiplication of skin cells. The symptoms appear when the immune system of a body overacts and causes issues with the skin.

There have been no determined causes for the disease, and scientists reportedly attribute genetic and environmental conditions as a case. According to The Mirror, Kim Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, is also affected by the disease. The celebrity took to Instagram recently and posted stories about her condition. She said,
“How crazy is my psoriasis right now guys? It’s like all up my leg, I don’t know what’s happening, but I gotta figure this out, this is crazy…Not gonna lie this is painful. Not sure what my triggers are. I haven’t changed my diet, I’ve tried everything. Psoriasis sucks.”

According to Amish Patel, a skincare expert, Kim Kardashian’s erratic lifestyle and schedule could be one of the reasons for her developing psoriasis. He told The Mirror about the various reasons why psoriasis may develop in a person and how one could manage it. She said,
“Psoriasis can flare up for a variety of reasons such as stress, sunburn, being unwell recently, through a graze to the skin, cold dry weather and even changes in hormones…Given Kim’s busy jet-set lifestyle, there could be numerous factors at play. Because triggers can vary from person to person it’s more about finding out what triggers your psoriasis and managing these contributing factors as best you can.”
Kardashian recently posted another story where she revealed that she was sleeping with a plastic sheet wrapped around the affected area of her legs. She also applied cream to the area and claimed that it was getting better.

According to Truly Beauty, Kim Kardashian’s nine-step regime includes a cleanser, exfoliator, toner, face cream, eye cream, oil drops, and more. Her intense regime reportedly costs $600, and she uses products from her own SKKN brand. Skincare expert Amish Patel also told The Mirror how Kardashian took care of her skin,
“She has previously talked about Vampire Facials, which are PRP facials with microneedling, which I think will re-emerge as the big beauty trend for 2024 – using the body’s natural rejuvenation process to benefit the skin’s tone and texture. I think she probably still has PRP facials, given her flawless complexion.”
Despite her amazing skincare routine, the celebrity still seems to have one condition that she seems to be suffering from. Kardashian also recently launched her own brand of loungewear called SKIMS.
