There is a correlation between hyperthyroidism and the development of vitiligo, and vitiligo is associated with a higher incidence of hyperthyroidism, but whether it is due to hyperthyroidism is not clear.
Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes, with localized or generalized depigmentation of the skin as the main clinical manifestations. The etiology of the disease is still unclear, and some studies have found that vitiligo is associated with a higher incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease, and there is a correlation between hyperthyroidism and vitiligo.
Whether hyperthyroidism causes vitiligo is unclear. Although the genetic susceptibility gene of vitiligo and autoimmune thyroid disease have a crossover, and vitiligo is closely related to autoimmune thyroid disease, there is no clinical study that can prove that hyperthyroidism can cause vitiligo.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor standardized treatment.
