"We got it under control," she added. "I didn't know anything about it, but having to learn about it and figuring out where it came from and that it's hereditary and just learning more and being able to share that with people [has been a blessing]."
She also shared that her kids "have a little bit of eczema."
Vitiligo is a "chronic autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment or color," according to the National Institute of Health (NIH). It's more common in those who have a family history of the condition or have been diagnosed with other autoimmune disorders, including psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. According to Pfizer, vitiligo is rare, impacting only 0.5% to 1% of the world population.
Other celebrities who have revealed their vitiligo diagnosis, include model Winnie Harlow, Jon Hamm, Holly Marie Combs, and perhaps most famously, Michael Jackson.

Like vitiligo, psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder. According to the NIH, it occurs when the immune system becomes overactive and causes skin cells to multiply too quickly. The disease can cause red, itchy, scaly patches on the skin, including the scalp, elbows, and knees.
The Skims founder said she was the only one of Kris Jenner's children who inherited the disease from her.
Kim said she first experienced symptoms when she was 30 and wore a sequined dress to her nephew Mason's birthday party. After Kris noticed Kim's rash, she immediately told her daughter that she had psoriasis.
She shared that she got a cortisone shot at the time, and it caused her condition to be "dormant" for about five years, before it returned.

The Kardashians star opened up about the treatments and remedies she's used over the years to help her symptoms, sharing that she's "tried everything"
"I'll do anything. I've tried … special herbs, the holistic way, a celery juice diet for six weeks, every topical cream, every soap from natural to unnatural," she said.
Earlier this year, Kim shared a video in which she gave her followers an inside look at her SKKN offices, including the tanning bed.
After she was accused of promoting the use of tanning beds, which can be dangerous, Kim addressed the criticism on X, formerly Twitter, writing, "I have psoriasis and it really helps when it's bad, But I don't use it too often."
