Kim Kardashian must really be suffering from severe psoriasis. Though she has spoken about the condition before, she turned to her Twitter followers for help. In a December 23 post, she asked anyone who was listening for medication recommendations. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition and it is extremely important to use the best self-care practices to prevent flare-ups. One of those includes managing stress. Is it possible that the recent drama with Kanye West and Drake is creating too much stress for Kim?
Kim Kardashian shared the following.
“I think the time has come I start a medication for psoriasis. I’ve never seen it like this before and I can’t even cover it at this point. It’s taken over my body. Has anyone tried a medication for psoriasis & what kind works best? Need help ASAP!!!”
It didn’t take long before fans responded to Kim’s plea with suggestions as well as prayers. Not everyone was freely generous with suggestions. Some insulted Kim Kardashian for asking Twitter since she could afford the best doctors money can buy.

While some people debated whether Kim Kardashian should ask Twitter for medical advice and suggestions, others pointed out that her asking showed how troublesome psoriasis is to treat.
Some also recommended Kim Kardashian stop going the traditional medical route. One user said she should get her blood panel done and look to see what is causing her immune system difficulty instead of suppressing the symptoms.
One user suggested Humira and said it has been effective in clearing her skin up to 90 percent. Others suggested Stelara but said both medications are rather strong and she should start with something weaker and then work up if needed.
Since Kim Kardashian said she is currently suffering the worst psoriasis outbreak of her life and that it has spread across her body, it seems something is clearly going on. The holidays are often a time when those with immune-related conditions experience greater stress and are prone to increasing symptoms.
It could be the combination of Kanye’s latest social media fights with the holidays are just too much for Kim Kardashian to deal with.
Do you suffer from psoriasis? Do you have any suggestions for Kim Kardashian?
