VITILIGO

I’m wondering what other conditions people got after being diagnosed with vitiligo. Or before for that matter. I’ve seen some discussions of psoriasis. What other conditions did you get? Did they come before or after the vitiligo?

At a recent visit to my eye doctor, I was told my pigment is separating inside of my eyes reducing the amount of light reaching the receptors in my eys. Which is scary enough but I have noticed a significant reduction in hearing. Is there any research that links Vitiligo to hearing loss?

My Vitiligo on my skin is mild, partly due to my natural skin color. The thought of having poor hearing and vision is scary.

I don’t have any evidence of vitiligo on my scalp yet but certainly don’t want to encourage it. Basically, I don’t feel very cute in my natural boring hair color. Could I just ask my hair dresser to keep the foils far from scalp?

I was told this by two doctors that Vitiligo is a fungus -I was also told by a dermatologist that is also associated and related to Hypo Thyroidism -Does anyone else have any information on this ? Are both Autoimmune issues too? Any feedback greatly appreciated

I’m 39 and my vitiligo started back in may of this year. It’s on both of my eyebrows and I noticed my vision is getting worse and worse with a lot of sensitivity to light.

If anyone would be so kind as to answer this question. I know everyone’s spots are different and unique, but was just getting a sense of an idea on what’s going on with my hands. Even though this can be different for everyone, this helps me get a bit calm in understanding how it happened to others, plus I LOVE hearing everyone’s story about how it started with vitiligo. This helps me not feel so alone with this next chapter of vitiligo.

I pray this doesn’t seem intrusive to anyone. So if… read more
