Kardashian has psoriasis what is it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Kim Kardashian learned she has psoriasis in an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" that aired Sunday.
Alarmed after finding red, itchy patches on her legs, Kardashian heads to the dermatologist. Dr. Harold Lancer takes one look at the scaly rash and determines she has psoriasis, a common skin disease that causes skin to dry and form itchy spots.
The severity of psoriasis depends on the person - some people can be covered in these patches; other cases can be associated with arthritis. It's largely believed to be genetic and related to the immune system.
"I've heard of it before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because my mom has always had it. She didn't have red flaky dots all over," Kardashian said.
A type of white blood cell called a T cell fights off infections in the body. T cells attack healthy skin cells in a person with psoriasis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], according to Mayo Clinic. When the dead skin cells and white blood cells can clear, they form rash. Researchers believe genetics and environmental factors may trigger the T cells.
"It's not curable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because you can't alter the genetics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Lancer said.
"My career is doing ad campaigns and swimsuit photo shoots," she said. "People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect. When I gain a pound,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's in the headlines. The patches can flare up because of infections, stress, cold weather, smoking and heavy alcohol consumption.
Lancer tells her, "the No. 1 way to help yourself is lead an easier, slower pace life."
Kardashian blogged that her sister "Khloe freaks me out saying it's ringworm, but it turns out I have psoriasis!! My mom has had psoriasis for years, so it's good that I can talk to her about it."
Psoriasis is a lifelong condition, so it really difficult to have it. What sad is that it does not only attack you physically, but it also scars you emotionally as well. The emotional aspect of this condition is probably harder than its physical manifestations. Dealing with bullies, judgmental people and even regular people is really an emotionally straining task. I hope more and more people become aware that psoriasis isn contagious and it isn something to be scared with.
