“It’s psoriasis all over my face,” she wrote onTwitterwith a cry face emoji.
Kardashian West first documented her battle with psoriasis during an episode ofKUWTKin 2011 when she started noticing red spots appearing on her legs.
“So I have this like rash. Khloé seems to think that I have ringworm and I don’t even know what that is,” she told her doctor.
“It’s not ringworm. Khloé was wrong. It’s psoriasis,” her doctor replied.
“When the doctor tells me I have psoriasis I have heard of it before because my mom has always had it but my mom didn’t have red flaky dots all over her,” Kardashian West said. “My career is doing ad campaigns and swimsuit photoshoots. People don’t understand the pressure on me to look perfect. Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots.”
The last time that Kardashian West revealed that she had a flare-up was at the end of December 2018. Shetweeted, “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.”
