Kim Kardashian is known for always looking picture perfect, so imagine her shock when her dermatologist told her she had psoriasis!
"People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect," Kim said on Sunday night's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Kim allowed her reality show cameras to follow her to her dermatologists for a check-up after noticing some unsightly marks on her skin.
The doctor gave it to her straight. She has psoriasis, a condition that causes thick red skin with flakey silver-white patches.
"When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines," Kim said. "Imagine what the tabloids would do to me if they saw all these spots!"
Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, also suffers from the treatable condition.
