Kim Kardashian shared a surprising health update about her son this week. While opening up about her psoriasis journey on the She MD podcast Monday, the 43-year-old reality star revealed one of her and Kanye West’s sons have vitiligo “very mildly.” She told listeners: For those who don’t know, Pfizer explains that vitiligo is a rare, autoimmune “skin disorder that causes depigmentation (loss of skin color) in irregular patchy patterns” and affects only 0.5 percent to 1 percent of the world’s population.
Notably, a very small number of celebs have had the condition — Michael Jackson and model Winnie Harlow — bringing more attention to it.
On the podcast, Kim did not say which of her two sons — 8-year-old Saint and 5-year-old Psalm — has the disorder.
However, she did note that her kiddo’s condition is “under control” now. The Kardashians star added: According to Kim, her “kids have a little bit of eczema.” Although the SKIMS creator did not go into a lot of detail about her children’s health, she did talk about her own struggles with psoriasis at length.
