Kim Kardashian has disclosed that one of her sons, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, has a rare skin disorder.
The 43-year-old mother of four—North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five—revealed that one of her boys has vitiligo, a condition causing patches of skin to lose pigment.

"It came from my mom, went to me, and I passed it on in a different form to my son, who has vitiligo very mildly," Kim shared on the She MD podcast. Vitiligo is described by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases as a chronic autoimmune disorder where skin cells that produce pigment, melanocytes, are attacked and destroyed, resulting in milky-white patches.
Kim did not specify which of her sons has the disorder but assured that it is "under control." She mentioned how she had to learn about the condition and its hereditary nature, and she finds sharing this knowledge to be a blessing. Kim, who herself suffers from psoriasis, also talked about her children experiencing mild eczema. She has struggled with psoriasis since around age 30 and is the only one of Kris Jenner's six children to have inherited it.

In her quest to manage the condition, she has tried various treatments, including herbs, holistic methods, a celery juice diet, and a range of topical creams and soaps. In one episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she even tried sister Kourtney Kardashian's breast milk to alleviate her symptoms. As recently as January, Kim detailed a painful psoriasis outbreak on her leg, sharing on Instagram, "Not gonna lie—this is painful.

Not sure what my triggers are. I haven't changed my diet. I've tried everything! Psoriasis sucks." Kim and Kanye West married in 2014, and she filed for divorce in February 2021, which was finalized in November 2022. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim shared that she has implemented stricter rules for their four children, emphasizing her role as a mother as her most important job. Following a therapist's advice, she has reduced screen time and made several changes around her home, noting that she is turning into her sisters Kourtney and Khloe in her approach to parenting.
