Psoriasis is a long term skin disease that often causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.
Psoriasis is thought to be caused by a problem that takes place in the immune system, which causes the body to make too many skin cells.

Kim Kardashian is another celebrity who also suffers from psoriasis and often speaks out about her battles with the condition.
Previously speaking about her condition to Poosh, the reality star said: “I’ve become extremely comfortable with my psoriasis.
“No matter where it is on my body, sometimes I am fine with showing it off and other times I don’t want it to be a distraction, so I cover it up with body makeup,”
She continued: “If you have psoriasis, you can’t let it ruin your life or get the best of you.
“You have to do what you can to make sure you are comfortable but not let it take over.”
