Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder isnt afraid to keep it real. Shes talked about her plastic surgery openly and ever shared photos of her breast reduction scars on Instagram. In her latest post, she shared a no-makeup selfie with her followers that highlights her struggles with the skin condition psoriasis.
In the image, you can see bits of redness on her cheeks, forehead, and chin. Stassi says in the caption that the red patches are psoriasis , which is a condition that impacts about 7.5 million Americans (youre not alone, Stassi!). It happens when a persons immune system sends unnecessary signals that tell skin cells to grow too quickly. Those cells then overproduce, pile up, and cause patches on the skin.

View this post on Instagram Having one of those days where Psoriasis is taking over my life. So many of you ask what makeup I use because it "looks" like I have flawless skin. I don't. And these patches are an effing bitch to cover up and make me feel ugly all the time. So here ya go, a no make up selfie. Feel beautiful today, girls. We all have our issues. PS. I use HD make up forever foundation ;) A post shared by Stassi Schroeder (@stassischroeder) on Nov 5, 2015 at 11:11am PST
In the most recent post, Stassi has the most relatable caption ever, saying that shes pretty sure last nights GOT episode worsened my psoriasis.
Its true that psoriasis flare-ups and stress are linked, according to the American Academy of Dermatology .
Keeping stress levels low is one way to manage the symptoms of the skin condition, though Stassi certainly cant be expected to miss the last season of Game of Thrones, even if it is a constant nail-biter and everyone might die at any moment.
One more week, and Stassi wont have to worry about GoT stress anymore, thankfully. In the meantime, Kim K has all the skin-calming psoriasis remedies .
