The former Oasis frontman has revealed he's taken to wearing protection on his hands as he describes his skin condition as "raging".

Liam Gallagher has resorted to wearing gloves around the house after a flare up of psoriasis.

The former Oasis frontman has previously revealed he has the skin condition, but this week took to Twitter to let his followers know it was "raging".

Asked by a fan what he was up to today, the Supersonic singer replied: "Cleaning the house my psoriasis is raging so wearing gloves all day".

Fans were quick to share their sympathies and remedies with the Manchester rocker, as others revealed they also suffer with the same condition, which can flare up in winter.

It's not the first time Gallagher has talked about the psoriasis, previously recalling a funny story involving a festival-goer at the band's first Glastonbury appearance who mistook the flakes on his shoulders for cocaine.

"I remember coming off stage and I got my clothes robbed," he told Noisey back in 2017. "I [also] remember meeting someone, some very strange kid, who come up to me and thought I had cocaine in my hair."

He explained: "I got psoriasis [skin condition that causes itchy, scaly rashes] so I had obviously been scratching it during the day and that, and there were little white bits and shit.

"They were takingit out of my hair and putting it on their gums and putting it up their f***ing nose!"
