Is Vitiligo A Fungus Causing The Discoloration? Has Anyone Else Been Told That It’s Also Associated With Thyroid Disorders?
Is Vitiligo A Fungus Causing The Discoloration? Has Anyone Else Been Told That It’s Also Associated With Thyroid Disorders?
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
Kindly TL
Every thing starts with your Gut So if you have Gut issues address those First(Leaky Gut Candid or Digestive issues)
What I have learned is that it is an auto-immune disease that affects different parts of the body. Generalized hits the whole body and segmental is one area of the body. It is also hereditary. I do not think is related to the Thyroid. I have not read anything about it being a fungus. Hope this helps.
There is a similar disease that is yeast related but it is not Vitiligo- Tinea Versicolor also has white patches - I was also researching Melanocytes and how to nourish them to produce more pigment - but only came across the normal antioxidant advise vitamins C etc…- I didn’t realize in India Vitiligo can impair a young woman from getting married - then once married if it appears is cause for divorce - that’s very archaic that something uncontrollable can have such devastating effects on families- very shallow thinking and sad - we have come along way and still need more progress
I was told since I have Hashimoto’s I had a predisposition to get vitiligo anyway. Kind of shocked since I’ve had Hashimoto’s for a long time and no one mentioned it but oh well guess my doctor didn’t say anything due to they weren’t sure it would happen so why bother. Who knows😒.
