Pemphigus vulgaris and vitiligo may be related, and the two are prone to comorbidity, mainly related to immune mechanisms.
Pemphigus vulgaris belongs to an autoimmune-related non-scarring hair loss disease, and vitiligo belongs to a common acquired depigmentation skin and mucous membrane disease. The occurrence of pemphigus vulgaris is associated with impaired immune mechanisms and is often comorbid with autoimmune diseases, with a high prevalence in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, diabetes mellitus, and vitiligo, so pemphigus vulgaris and vitiligo may be related.
In addition, the occurrence of baldness may also be related to heredity, mental and emotional stress, endocrine disorders and other factors. And vitiligo is mainly caused by the destruction of melanocytes, resulting in the reduction of melanin, which is also related to heredity, neurochemicals, skin damage and other factors.
When the patient is checked out with pemphigus or vitiligo, he/she needs to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment and follow up on time.
