Psoriasis, a Kardashian skin condition?
Kim Kardashian was incredibly vocal about the condition on her reality television show, 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', but, what is Psoriasis, really?
Psoriasis is a chronic and debilitating auto-immune condition where the body is at war with itself.
It results in a build-up of skin cells which forms thick patches, called plaques, on the skin surface. These plaques are red, flaky, itchy, and painful. Even though psoriasis is visible on the skin, it goes deeper than that, causing extensive swelling and inflammation to other organs and body tissues.

Always consult your dermatologist if you feel like you may have a skin condition, never self diagnose. You can contact Dr Tarryn Jacobs via her website.
