Kim Kardashian Reveals Sleeping in Saran Wrap Helped her Deal with Psoriasis
Kim Kardashian has shared her experience battling psoriasis on the SHE MD podcast. She discussed her personal insights into dealing with the chronic skin condition and the unconventional methods she tried to find relief. Kim is the only one of Kris Jenner’s six children who inherited psoriasis.
Psoriasis battle; Kardashian goes public
She received her diagnosis at the age of thirty. Kim recalled a moment in New York when she wore a silver sequined dress that caused a rash, only to find out it was psoriasis. She tried various treatments over the years, including a cortisone shot that provided temporary relief but ultimately returned and persisted for five years. Kim described how the condition would cause itch attacks that led to bleeding, making it unbearable.
Trying out ideas
After sharing her struggles on social media, Kim received numerous home remedies from her followers. She experimented with unconventional treatments like drinking tar tea, using special herbs, following a celery juice diet for six weeks, and testing various creams. Dermatologist Dr Harold Lancer suggested a prescription cream wrapped in saran wrap overnight, which Kim found particularly effective for her thighs and elbows.
She jokingly compared herself to the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz due to the crunchy feeling from the saran wrap. The method prescribed by Dr Lancer provided relief and helped manage her psoriasis, although her journey has involved trial-and-error and medical guidance.
The search for cure
Kim continues her journey with psoriasis, finding success with Dr Lancer’s method. Every Tuesday, a new episode of the SHE MD podcast with different guests and more information is released.
