EBN- Reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s look at the Met Gala 2022 was eye-catching for everyone, but on the other side of this distinctive look was suffering.
For the first time, Kim talked about her suffering with the skin disease psoriasis. She said that she “did everything she could” to control it, which was the reason that the night of the party was one of her unforgettable evenings due to the appearance of a violent rash on her face.
“These spots that came out of nowhere and they were really itchy, and for me when it comes to my face it’s like a nightmare,” Kim Kardashian told SHE MD podcast hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thais Aliabadi, who she was a guest on, opening up about her psoriasis, including:
“I was a little bit desperate when the spots started to cover my face,” Kardashian , 43, said . “They were very close to my eyes and they were causing a little burning. I remember I was going to some event that week that I showed up and I had spots all over my face.”
When asked if this happened to her due to stress or a psychological condition, Kardashian replied : “I try to remember what I was going through at the time, but I don’t think it was because of that. I think I handle stress fairly well.”
Regarding the details of the event, she said: “I was preparing for the Met Gala 2022, when I wore the famous Marilyn Monroe dress. At the time, I suffered from an outbreak, not only of psoriasis, but also of psoriatic arthritis.
I had psoriasis all over my body and psoriatic arthritis, so I couldn’t move my hand very well. The doctors said it was because of my diet, so I had to go to a rheumatologist who prescribed me medication. I stopped eating meat and started to recover. I was panicking at the time,” she added.
However, no one noticed her psoriasis on the red carpet, she says, and her makeup artist managed to hide it: “We put on a lot of concealer.” It still takes a toll on Kim to this day, causing her to wear a lot of makeup for fear of it suddenly appearing on her face again.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease in which the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly, resulting in scaly, inflamed patches of skin, according to the National Institutes of Health.
