Kim Kardashian took a break from photo shoots and celebrity engagements to visit her dermatologist on Sunday night’s episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” After finding red, flaky patches of skin on her legs, Dr. Harold Lancer diagnosed the reality star with psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder that causes rapid skin cell growth that can manifest itself as thick silvery scales and itchy dry red patches on the skin. “People don’t understand the pressure on me to look perfect,” Kim said. “When I gain a pound, it’s in the headlines. Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots?” Lancer suggested that she “lead an easier, slower paced life.” Kim’s mom was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 30.
