Kim Kardashian continues to take a no-holds-barred approach to sharing her experiences with psoriasis.

On Tuesday, the Skims founder and reality star posted a social media video showing a painful flare-up on her skin, writing that Psoriasis sucks.

How crazy is my psoriasis right now, guys? Its, like, all up my leg, Kardashian said in the Instagram stories clip. I dont know whats happening. But Ive got to figure this out. This is crazy.

In a caption, she added: Not sure what my triggers are. I havent changed my diet. Ive tried everything!

Psoriasis is a disease in which skin cells build up and form dry, inflamed patches, typically on the elbows, knees and scalp. Triggers can vary from person to person, but the condition is believed to be caused by genetics, the immune system and the environment.

Though Kardashian has been frank about the unpleasantness of psoriasis, shes been able to find humor in her situation, too. In another video uploaded to her Instagram stories Tuesday, she pointed out that one of her skin patches resembled a heart.

Lucky me, I have a heart-shaped psoriasis for Valentines Day, she quipped.
