I got vaccinated in May 2021 with my first dose and by the end of July 2021, I noticed a sudden flare up and rapid progression.
I don't know if it is because of the vaccine because I was on antibiotics for a month in June.
This also raises another question, has anyone noticed increase in their vitiligo post/during the use of antibiotics?
Thank you all in advance.
Think stress is the worst thing for it.
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?
I had lichen sclerosis, then vitilago then raynauds. The vitilago got worse with pregnancy both times, and it's pretty much spread everywhere now. Distant memories of my maternal grandmother having… read more
Hello
I want to ask that should I go for COVID-19 vaccination ? My main concern is that the vaccine will make the immune system more enhanced to fight against corona virus so I think it will also effect Vitiligo
Kindly answer
Thank you
no change.
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

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.

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

I have vitiligo all over my body but over the last few months it has started to spread really quickly, quicker than ever before. I am wondering if it's because I had covid earlier in the year or if it is a result of having had 3 covid jabs?
I’m very sorry you are going through this. I had it prior to the shots but after it progressed more than it ever had before in a short period of time.
Yes! I started looking on pinterest and found people that enhanced their face with makeup. Not full face but eyes and lipsticks and it helps!
I was told by a family member that getting tats can cause spreading?? I have a sleeve and several other tats but never noticed spread due to tats or that i noticed. I have how ever noticed it spreads under them but not covering them, Anyone here got a opinion ?? for years ive said i was going cover my spots with tats but at this point its spread to much .
