Since Kim Kardashian gave birth to her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—with Ye (formerly Kanye West), the kids have been the center of their parents' world. Inheriting superstar genes from Mama Kardashian and Papa West, the children have already made notable strides in their respective fields, demonstrating that they possess the same talent as their famous parents. However, their similarities go beyond just skills. Recently, Kardashian revealed an unexpected detail about one of her sons with West about a rare skin condition. 

This revelation comes as a surprise for both Kardashian and West's fans, who were previously unaware of this aspect of their lives.

Kim Kardashian, the mother of four, recently discussed her psoriasis journey on She MD podcast where she appeared on Monday. During the episode, she revealed a surprising detail about one of her sons, explaining how psoriasis was passed down from her mother to her, and then manifested in a different form in her child, who has mild vitiligo. The SKIMS founder noted that the condition resulting from pigment-producing cells ceasing to function is now “under control.”

Kardashian shared that she was initially unaware of the condition, but her lack of knowledge drove her to research and discover its hereditary nature. The reality star also mentioned another detail, that her children have a “bit of eczema”. Although Kardashian did not disclose which of her sons—Saint or Psalm—has vitiligo, nor did she provide further details about his health, she did outline her own skin struggles with psoriasis in her 30s.

During her appearance on She MD Podcast, Kim Kardashian chose not to elaborate on her children's skin disorders, but she did open up about her own struggles with psoriasis. She revealed the lengths she has gone to in pursuit of recovery, expressing her willingness to do "anything". Kardashian listed various treatments she has tried, including special herbs, holistic approaches, a six-month celery juice diet, and every type of topical cream and soap, both natural and unnatural.

Kardashian first noticed her psoriasis at Kourtney Kardashian’s son Mason's birthday, when an itchy sequined dress triggered symptoms. Although a cortisone shot initially alleviated the condition, it resurfaced five years later and has persisted since then. However, the recurrence has been particularly painful for the mother of four despite being the richest of the clan, as she now faces the additional challenge of seeing her son endure a similar struggle with skin issues.
