At first, she attributed the itchy scalp to the frequent coloring of her hair, but the episodes continued, causing physical and emotional distress to the award-winning musician.
The “Time after Time” singer is a busy mother, touring popstar and activist.
A champion of human rights, a move inspired by her sister Ellen, who’s a lesbian, Lauper works tirelessly to support the LGBT community.
Her 2005 song “Above the Clouds,” was written for Matthew Shepard, a gay 21-year-old student who was beaten to death in Wyoming. She also founded the 2007-2008 concert tour, “True Colors,” that supports local and private LGBT charities and foundations.
In addition to her advocacy, Lauper has an impressive portfolio as a singer, songwriter and actor. In her career spanning four decades, Lauper earned numerous awards, including a Tony Award, two Grammy Awards, an MTV Music Video Award and an Emmy Award for her 1995 appearance in an episode of the TV sitcom, Mad About You.
She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is an inductee in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2013, for her humanitarian efforts, she was invited as a special guest to attend U.S. President Barrack Obama’s second inauguration.
Not letting the diagnosis slow her down, Lauper is a real force of power. Refusing to let psoriasis get the best of her, the True Colors singer is learning to manage stress, which can trigger a flare-up.
