3 Celebs, Including Kim Kardashian, Who Have Skin Problems
Posted by
During an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians last year, Kim Kardashian revealed that she was diagnosed with psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder that causes thick cells or dry red patches on the skin, and that she inherited it from her mother Kris. Kim was frantic at the time and worried that people “don’t understand the pressure on me to look perfect.” Everything she does is in the headlines, so she couldn’t even imagine “what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots.” Well, I guess her worst fear came true – she was photographed in an airport in Miami yesterday with psoriasis spots on her legs. Kardashian typically wears a lot of makeup on her legs to cover up the skin condition, but this time she made no effort to hide it. The blotches could be seen through the slit in her maxi skirt. So much for Kim trying to be perfect.
Kim Kardashian usually works hard to cover up her skin condition in order to look good in public, as do many other celebrities. Here are a few stars that suffer from skin diseases too.
LeAnn Rimes
LeAnn Rimes also suffers from psoriasis. She has battled the condition all her life and works with the National Psoriasis Foundation to help others deal with the “emotional and physical toll” it takes on them.
Renee Zellweger
Renee Zellweger suffers from rosacea, a condition that causes flushing and redness on the cheeks, nose, and forehead. She uses creams, cleansers, and medication to help keep the redness under control.
