Country music singer LeAnn Rimes is opening up about her psoriasis. She was diagnosed with psoriasis when she was two-years-old. Psoriasis is described as "a skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. This makes the skin build up into bumpy red patches covered with white scales. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back." She has not openly talked about her skin condition very often. LeAnn opened up on World Psoriasis Day and shared her story. She admitted, "I tried everything I could to treat it: steroid creams, major medications — I even tried being wrapped in coal tar with Saran Wrap. And when I was in public, I did everything I could to hide it."

It’s been and still is a journey of allowing them out and welcoming and reintegrating those fragments back into wholeness."

And I want to give a voice to what so many other people are going through. This is finally my time to be unabashedly honest about what psoriasis is and what it looks like."
