Jess Wright praised by fans for showing off her ‘real skin’ as she gives health update

JESS Wright has been praised by fans for showing off her "real skin" while sharing a health update.

The former Towie star, 37, previously spoke out about her battle with skin condition psoriasis.

Now she's shared a candid photo of the reality of living with the condition and told her followers the latest medication she'd tried had stopped working.

Jess wrote: "In November I went to a specialist & I was put on a form of medication in the hope that it would stop it in its tracks, calm it down & then when I come off of the meds after around a year, it wouldn’t be as aggressive.

"This medication cleared nearly all of my psoriasis which was wonderful for a little while.

"However side effects of the meds started to creep in & become more evident which didn’t make me feel great & then when I tried lowering the dose, the psoriasis started to come back with a vengeance.

"It’s actually I’d say on par with how it was before, if not worse. And it’s actually really sore."

Fans were quick to send messages, with one writing: "Please don't let your psoriasis stop you from your passions. Take care lovely, you got this."

Another said: "So sorry to hear this ongoing frustrating discomfort that you are undergoing."

And a third added: "Sending love to you Jess - there are other ways and I am sure you have lots of wonderful advice here."

Jess previously spoke to The Sun about her experience with psoriasis.

She said: "It's really taking it's toll mentally but you just have to try and have faith that eventually you can get to the bottom of it."

The condition - which affects an estimated two per cent of people in the UK - causes, according to the , red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales.

In May last year Jess became a mum for the first time when she and husband William Lee-Kemp welcomed son Presley.
