Reality star Kim Kardashian West hit the streets of New York yesterday in a sheer Gucci bra and blazer.
Despite an attention-grabbing outfit and clear lack of shirt, many fans’ attention was instead drawn to the fact that the 35-year-old star’s psoriasis appears to have significantly worsened.
The inherited and incurable skin disorder means the Kardashian gets distressing red patches on her skin during flare ups particularly on her right leg.
She tearfully revealed in January that the incurable condition had spread to her face, potentially threatening her image-based career.
Posting on Twitter, the star wrote, ‘Wait why am I now getting psoriasis on my face,’ with a tearful emoji.
While there isn’t a cure, Kardashian West says she tries to manage the condition through her diet, cortisone shots and topical creams.
‘Everyone with psoriasis has different symptoms; sometimes the rashes are itchy, sometimes they’re flaky. Mine flares up from time to time for different reasons,’ she explained.
The star also opened up about having the condition on her app KimKardashianWest.com.
“I have that one patch on my right leg that is the most visible,” she wrote, adding, “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?”
