Kim Kardashian’s psoriasis isn’t going to get in the way of the reality star’s love of nude photos, and skin-baring outfits. Kardashian is out there doing her thing every day, and her thing involves showing lots of skin.
Sometimes she’s really had a hard time dealing with the condition that takes over and makes “dry, itchy patches” that can turn a fiery red. In the past, Kim has spent a lot of time and money trying to cover up the patches, but it never works well, and putting concealer creams on it can make it even worse in the long run.
“Kim Kardashian West isn’t letting her psoriasis stop her from loving her body.”

People magazine writes that Kardashian is “done with” putting so much effort into hiding the psoriasis from people. It’s chronic, which means it isn’t going away anytime soon, or ever.
The KUWTK star has decided that if she has to put up with it, and thousands of other sufferers also have to live with psoriasis every day, then it’s only fair for her fans to tolerate it too. The psoriasis is part of the same Kardashian body that fans like to see in the nude photos Kim loves sharing.
If they don’t want to see Kim Kardashian with red patches on her skin, they’re following the wrong celebrity! Kardashian admits in a post to her app that she sees psoriasis as her “big flaw,” but also realizes there’s not much point in pretending the rough, dry skin isn’t there since it’s no secret.
“I have that one patch on my right leg that is the most visible. I don’t even really try to cover it that much anymore. Sometimes I just feel like it’s my big flaw and everyone knows about it, so why cover it?”
Kim’s psoriasis was diagnosed back in 2011, and fans got to watch her go through that experience during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
“After this many years, I’ve really learned to live with it.”
When Kim first started feeling the itch, she thought it was the slinky sequin-covered fabric of the sexy dress she was wearing, but mom Kris Jenner soon set her straight. Kris has psoriasis too, and since it’s hereditary, Jenner was quick to recognize the symptoms when they showed up on her daughter.
I’ve always wished I could tell you how you’ve helped me deal with my psoriasis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Meanwhile, Kardashian “kan’t stop,” according to Us Magazine . Psoriasis or not, Kim is baring whichever part of her body isn’t covered with a rash, and this week she chose nipples. That’s right, Kardashian’s nipples were on show for everyone to see when she went for a walk in New York City with her husband, Kanye West.
If I had a dollar for every time Kim Kardashian wore something that showed her nipples (or no shirt at all) I would be almost as rich as her

Kim chose a revealing top that looked like a corset “featuring see-through cups.” She wore the nipple-baring top over a pair of bike shorts, then completed the outfit with “a long athletic-inspired coat and fuzzy slip-on sandals.”
Life & Style magazine said Kim had “gone from weird to weirder” with the revealing outfit, but Kim’s nipples weren’t necessarily the main attraction of the “truly bizarre ensemble.” According to the mag, people were staring at Kim’s bike shorts even more than at her nipples.
The bike shorts were skin tight, and gave everyone an eyeful of her amazing legs, but bike shorts with a nipple-baring bustier and furry slippers just don’t seem like a good match. Twitter doesn’t think so either, and one person tweeted that Kardashian is destroying Anna Wintour’s legacy one outfit at a time.

What do you think of Kardashian’s weird outfits? Is it just something to be proud of that regardless of her struggle with psoriasis, Kim is still willing to put her body on show?
