American TV star Kim Kardashian said that her and rapper Kanye West’s son suffers from a rare disease, which was passed on to him from his grandmother, Kris Jenner. According to her, the child has skin problems.

“It was passed down from my mother to me, and I passed it down to my son. He had very mild vitiligo,” Kardashian said on an episode of the She MD podcast.

However, she did not mention which of the children in particular fell ill with the family disease. Kim, 43, has four children: North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.

In 2011, Kim Kardashian admitted that she suffers from psoriasis. Her mother, Kris Jenner, was also diagnosed with the same disease. However, the disease was not transmitted to the model’s siblings.

Psoriasis and vitiligo are different diseases, but both have a genetic predisposition. Vitiligo is a pathology characterized by discoloration of the skin. Light spots often appear on the arms, legs, torso, and face.

Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by the formation of red, dry patches that fuse together to form plaques.

Earlier, Kim Kardashian showed her hand when she accidentally cut the tip of her finger. The reality star admitted that what happened to her was much more painful than childbirth.
