According to the National Institutes of Health, psoriasis is a chronic disease that affects skin cells, causing them to multiply too quickly and causing itching and irritation throughout the body. Regarding vitiligo, the Mayo Clinic points out that the skin loses pigment and colour in patches that can enlarge over time.
During the rest of the interview, Kardashian shared how she discovered her psoriasis when she was 30, initially thinking it was a normal rash, only for her mother to suggest it was the condition she also suffered from.
