Kim Kardashian Reveals One Son Has Vitiligo

Kim Kardashian has shared an update about one of her sons' health, revealing that he has been diagnosed with vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation.

During an appearance on the "She MD" podcast, the 43-year-old reality star and businesswoman opened up about her own struggles with psoriasis and explained how it has impacted her family. "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," she said.

Kardashian, who shares four children with ex-husband Kanye West, did not specify which of her two sons, Saint (8) or Psalm (5), has the condition. She assured listeners that the condition is "under control," providing a sense of relief for fans concerned about her child's health.

Vitiligo is a relatively rare autoimmune disease that can affect people of all ages and ethnicities. While there is no cure, treatments like topical creams, light therapy, and even makeup can help manage the condition and minimize its impact on appearance.

Kardashian, known for her candid approach to personal experiences, has consistently shared her own health struggles, including those with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. Her openness has been praised for raising awareness about these conditions and promoting understanding and acceptance.

The news comes as Kardashian continues to navigate motherhood while building her business empire. She recently shared a series of videos showcasing her son Saint's basketball skills on her Instagram Stories, showing him playing for his All Star team and even scoring several baskets. "Saint made the All Star team," she captioned one video. "They won and he played so good."

With her candidness about personal health and unwavering support for her children, Kardashian continues to inspire fans and demonstrate her commitment to motherhood, despite the challenges she faces.
