Kim Kardashian has been open about her struggles with psoriasis. Now, she’s sharing that one of her sons is dealing with another skin condition: vitiligo.
Kim, 43, discussed this on the July 15 episode of the She MD podcast. She shared that the condition came from her mom, Kris Jenner, passed to her, and then to her son in a different form.
Though she didn’t reveal which son has vitiligo, Kim mentioned that all four of her children have a little bit of eczema.
Vitiligo is a disease that causes the loss of skin color in patches. According to the Mayo Clinic, it occurs when cells that produce melanin die or stop functioning. It’s not life-threatening or contagious.
When her son was diagnosed, Kim went into full research mode. She learned about vitiligo, its hereditary nature, and how to manage it. She found that it’s important to share this knowledge with others.
Kim is close friends with supermodel Winnie Harlow, who also has vitiligo. Winnie has embraced her condition in her career.
The two have collaborated on a KKW Beauty makeup collection and have shared their admiration for each other. Kim is particularly impressed with Winnie’s confidence.
In a 2019 interview, Kim asked Winnie how she became so confident. Winnie credited her mom and grandmother for keeping her confident.
Kim remembered a story Winnie told her about how her grandmother educated others on treating Winnie with respect. Winnie’s grandmother advised against pointing out Winnie’s vitiligo, saying it made her feel different.
