Cyndi Lauper, the iconic singer-songwriter, has been a symbol of empowerment and individuality for decades. Her unforgettable hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” continues to inspire women of all ages to embrace their uniqueness. However, behind her vibrant persona, Lauper has been bravely battling psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that affects millions worldwide.
Diagnosed in 2010, Lauper has been open about her struggles with psoriasis, which has at times been so severe that it left her with painful, scaly patches. Despite the challenges, she refuses to let the condition define her. Instead, she has become an advocate for others living with psoriasis, using her platform to raise awareness and promote self-care.
Lauper’s journey with psoriasis has not been easy, but she has learned to manage her stress and find solace in holistic practices like reiki, meditation, and yoga. She encourages others to prioritize their well-being, emphasizing that taking care of oneself is essential.
As a spokesperson for Novartis’ Cosentyx, Lauper has found relief from her symptoms and is now “four years clear.” She continues to inspire others through her podcast, PsO in the Know, which features conversations with celebrities, advocates, and everyday people living with psoriasis.
Lauper’s courage and resilience serve as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles. Her dedication to helping others and promoting self-acceptance makes her a true role model. We are grateful for her talents, her journey, and her unwavering commitment to empowering others.
