Reality TV star and business mogul Kim Kardashian in a candid disclosure stated that one of her sons, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, has been diagnosed with vitiligo, a rare skin condition characterized by patches of skin losing their pigment.


In a recent appearance on a podcast, Kim Kardashian shared insights into her family's health journey, revealing that her son inherited the condition from her, according to E! News. She explained, "Psoriasis came from my mom, went to me, and then I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo."


Vitiligo, according to Mayo Clinic's research obtained by E! News, causes patches of skin to lose colour and can affect any part of the body.


Kim Kardashian contrasted this with her own struggle with psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition that manifests as patches of red, scaly skin. Kim, who is also mother to daughters North and Chicago, elaborated that her psoriasis symptoms appeared later in life, specifically at the age of 30.

Recounting the moment of diagnosis, she recalled her mother, Kris Jenner, pointing out the condition of her legs during a family gathering. "My mom looked at my legs and goes, 'Oh my god, you have psoriasis,'" Kim recounted.

Initially sceptical, she confirmed the diagnosis with a dermatologist and underwent treatment, including cortisone shots, to manage the condition.

Despite periods of remission, Kim admitted that her psoriasis has been persistent over the years, recurring approximately five years after her initial diagnosis and persisting since then.
