Alongside Madonna, Cyndi Lauper's 2015 was the biggest female star in the 1980s, with hits that have turned into modern pop classics such as "Time After Time" and perhaps her most famous song, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - but it hasn't been all fun and rainbows for the singer, who has struggled with illness for years.
It wasn't until Cyndi Lauper's 2015 that the singer finally decided to open up about her psoriasis diagnosis, as she suffers from a skin disease that affects 2 to 4 percent of the world population and currently has no cure.
As Cyndi Lauper's 2015 reveals to the world, psoriasis causes cells to build on on the skin through red, scaly dry and itchy patches that can cover the body in its entirety.
According to The Daily Mail, Cyndi Lauper's 2015 confession talks about some low points in her life battling the condition, as she joins a new campaign with the National Psoriasis Foundation to help others suffering from this condition to live with it in their day-to-day lives.
It was through People Magazine that the singer decided to make the Cyndi Lauper 2015 confession, as she shared that one of the reasons behind her iconic looks (such as red wigs and pink hair) were a strategy to deflect attention from her skin condition, which got so bad at time she "felt like the Elephant Man."
Lauper revealed that, for her, it all started with a rash on her scalp in 2010, when she thought she'd had a "really bad bleach job," but when she went to the doctor she ended up being diagnosed with psoriasis and given a special shampoo.
Things got worse before they got better, and it wasn't until this year when immune system medication, creams and Epsom salt baths finally helped her manage her condition.
Lauper isn't the only famous person suffering from this condition, as Health.com reports, with other celebrities being "SNL" alum Jon Lovitz, actor-director Eli Roth, Art Garfunkel and most famous reality television star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian.
"I don't want anyone to be a silent psoriasis sufferer," went the very brave Cyndi Lauper 2015 confession. "You can't just lay in the dark and get depressed and feel like the disease has won. You can win, just get the information and get help - because suffering in silence really sucks."
