Celebrities Who Are Fighting Chronic Illnesses

Awareness was definitely raised about psoriasis when it was revealed one of the most photographed women in the world has it. After initially freaking out over the the skin condition - which causes crusty, red patches with silver-type flakes to appear - in an old episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, she has since adopted a more serene approach, recently saying she doesn't even try to cover it up anymore. "I'm always hoping for a cure, of course, but in the meantime, I'm learning to just accept it as part of who I am," she wrote on her website.
