Kim Kardashian ‘Passed’ Psoriasis Gene to 1 of Her 4 Kids Who Has Vitiligo

Kim Kardashian has suffered from psoriasis since her 2011 diagnosis. Now, the reality star revealed that one of her four kids was diagnosed with vitiligo.

“It came from my mom [ Kris Jenner], went to me … and I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo very mildly,” the Kardashians star, 43, said during the Monday, July 15, episode of the “She MD” podcast. Kim often shares photos of her flare-ups via Instagram, including a time in 2019 when she got a body treatment to help relieve the uncomfortability of the disease. That September, Kim wrote an essay about living with psoriasis and shared a glimpse into her life on sister Kourtney Kardashian ’s Poosh website.
