Kim Kardashian, 45, has revealed that living with psoriasis has sometimes made her feel deeply insecure despite her efforts to stay strong. The entrepreneur told People magazine she would apply ointment during the day and wrap affected areas in plastic wrap at night to keep the medication in contact with skin. She described sleeping in the wrap as feeling like a 'crunchy Tin-Man.' Kardashian said topical steroids offered no lasting relief, with psoriasis returning after she stopped using them. She has now partnered with Broc Shot, a sulforaphane supplement from broccoli seeds, which she said helped when she took it regularly. Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious inflammatory condition with no cure, marked by red, itchy, scaly patches.
