Kim Kardashian
Rare skin disease diagnosed in son
One of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's sons has been diagnosed with a rare skin condition.
Kim Kardashian has spoken out about the fact that one of her sons, who she has with her ex-husband Kanye West, suffers from vitiligo. This rare skin disease causes a patchy loss of skin color.
In a candid conversation on the "SHE MD" podcast, the Skims founder spoke about her family's health problem.
Skin disease passed on to son
Kim, who suffers from psoriasis herself, said that one of her sons inherited the disease from her, but in a different form.
"The psoriasis came from my mother and passed to me," Kim explained, "and then I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo."
Four children with West
Kardashian has four children with her ex-husband: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Sons Saint (8) and Psalm (5) are the youngest in the family.
While psoriasis, which affects Kim, leads to scaly and inflamed patches of skin, vitiligo causes no such scaling, just light patches on the skin.
Kim Kardashian's honesty about her family's health challenges is intended to raise awareness of these diseases and encourage other sufferers.
Celebrities such as Michael Jackson and Winnie Harlow have also been diagnosed with this disease.
