With her skin breaking out more than normal halfway through her pregnancy,Dr. Bruce Katz, director of Juva Skin and Laser Center, reveals the cause of her troublesome condition!

Kim K has been candid about her skin condition, and has even detailed the flare-ups on her showKeeping Up with the Kardashians.But now that shes halfway through her pregnancy with boyfriend Kanye Wests baby, it could be making the problem worse.

Psoriasis can be activated on any major change on the system, from stress and scratching, Dr. Katz tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. He added that pregnancy, with its changes in hormones and blood circulation, can cause a flare up.

Even if Kims chronic immune diseaseare bothering her, its likely she cant get treatment while shes pregnant, Dr. Howard Sobel,Manhattan Dermatologist, Dermatologic Surgeon, tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

Since Kim is pregnant, she has most likely been told to not use the commonpsoriasistreatment cortisone, which is applied to the skin.

She may have been instructed to not use it regularly, or not use it at all since she is pregnant, said Dr. Sobel says. He adds that the corticosteroidwould get into the blood stream and affect the baby. Pregnant women should lower medication or if they could, avoid it.

Most likely, her OBGYN would have her lay off the chemicals as much as possible, he says.

Not only is Kim pregnant she has been dealing with a lot of external stress, and was even rushed to her doctors office following a frightening plane ride from Paris to Los Angeles.
