What Other Conditions Did You Get After Getting Vitiligo?
What Other Conditions Did You Get After Getting 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?
Eric,
It’s been been said that 30% people with vitiligo have another auto Immune disease. Of that 30%, 20% is thyroid related.
I have hypothyroidism and b12 anemia Graves’ disease
I also have Hashimoto Disease and low Iron, I usually stick to non-gluten food and stay away from dairy. Its helped.
I have thyroid - hypo
My grandmother & uncle had vitiligo- the white streak of hair
I have it in my hair & skin
My daughter has alopecia and psoriasis she was allergic to most foods when she was a baby and had eczema.
We both suffer from depression
I have diffuse alopecia areata :( had no idea it was related until I finally saw a dermatologist. It came after vitiligo after a pretty stressful period. My vitiligo started spreading (after being stable for 10 years) alongside the alopecia.
