Kim Kardashian Reveals Chronic Disease Her Son Suffers From

The Kardashians star, Kim Kardashian, has informed fans about her long-standing battle with skin problems. Notably, she even founded a company aimed at helping others by offering quality skincare products. Recently, however, she has revealed that her son is suffering from a different chronic disease.

Over the years, Kim Kardashian has battled a skin condition that led her to start SKKNs as one of her business ventures. She shared with Dr. Thais Aliabadi, “I’ll do anything.” Undeniably, Kim faces significant challenges in keeping her psoriasis under control. She explained, “I’ve tried … special herbs, the holistic way, a celery juice diet for six weeks, every topical cream, every soap from natural to unnatural.” Not long ago, Kim discussed a flare-up, often exacerbated when she wears different materials, especially in her elegant outfits. Given the effort she puts into managing her own skin issues, it is upsetting to hear that her son also suffers from a chronic disease.

On Monday, during the She MD podcast, Kim Kardashian revealed which chronic disease her son suffers from. She said, “It came from my mom, went to me … and I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo very mildly.” According to the National Institute of Health, “Vitiligo is a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment or color. This happens when melanocytes – skin cells that make pigment – are attacked and destroyed, causing the skin to turn a milky-white color.” Despite sharing the details about her son’s condition, she reassured listeners that it is currently “under control.”

Furthermore, Kim elaborated, “I didn’t know anything about it, but having to learn about it and figuring out where it came from and that it’s hereditary and just learning more and being able to share that [has been a blessing].” Additionally, she noted that each of her “kids have a little bit of eczema.” While she didn’t specify which of her sons has vitiligo, it is hard to fathom either Saint, 8, or Psalm, 5, dealing with it at such young ages. Pfizer indicates that vitiligo affects only a small portion of the population, stating just 0.5 to 1 percent. Michael Jackson is one notable figure who famously had this condition.
