Kim Kardashian Reminds Fans She Has Psoriasis After Daily Mail Calls Out Her 'Bad Skin Day'
By Jennifer Fabiano
Kim Kardashian is a beauty mogul, but even she has those days where her skin just won't cooperate. Unfortunately for Kim, Monday was one of those days. While many of us would just stay inside and hide our face, the KKW Beauty owner and mom-of-three doesn't have that option.
This morning, Daily Mail got ahold of some pictures where Kim's skin looks a little less than perfect. The publication then posted a story with the headline, “Makeup mogul suffers bad skin day in LA ahead of Master Class beauty seminar.”
When the publication tweeted out the link to the story, Kim responded by owning up to having psoriasis, and showing that it’s not very nice to talk about people’s medical conditions.
It’s psoriasis all over my face. ? https://t.co/E94lI7mfDG

After Kim defended herself against the publication's criticism, fans flocked to her social media to follow her lead. Many offered support and recounted similar stories in their own lives to show Kim that she is not alone.
Do not let the media shake you. My mom has psoriasis, it took her a long time to accept it and not let the opinions of others shake her. Her psoriasis is still bad bc there are underlining issues she refuses to address, but people like you help start those convo. Thank you ❤️

it’s stupid that you have to explain yourself to these people, especially over something that we’ve known for years. try using hydrocortisone cream or salicyic acid to bring it down, that’s what patients at my job use!

I know exactly what you are going through @KimKardashian, back in October my psoriasis spread to my face and scalp. I was completely devastated but I find if I keep consistent with my skincare routine and use light treatment it improves. Stay strong, you are beautiful!

Though some fans were shocked by Kim’s acknowledgement of her condition, this isn’t the first time she’s talked publicly about her struggle with psoriasis at all. Most recently, this past December, Kim turned to her Twitter followers for help with treating the condition.
I think the time has come I start a medication for psoriasis. I’ve never seen it like this before and I can’t even cover it at this point. It’s taken over my body. Has anyone tried a medication for psoriasis & what kind works best? Need help ASAP!!!

And even before that, Kim revealed how she discovered she had psoriasis during a DASH store opening in New York. On her app, Kim wrote, “I wore this all-sequin dress and I started getting really itchy; I thought it was just a rash caused by the fabric, but then the rash was COVERING my legs and my mom was like, ‘I think you have psoriasis!!!'”
Between Kim’s struggle with psoriasis and Kendall’s battle with acne, we’re learning the KarJenners really do struggle with beauty and confidence issues just like us.
