Vitiligo and Hypothyroidism
Hi,
I'm working in Saudi Arabia.
Last year vitiligo started appearing on my skin. I consulted a doctor and he told me that it's because of hypothyroidism. I did blood test and he was right. Now I'm taking medication for hypothyroidism(Euthyrox-50mg-Levothyroxine sodium). I'm taking medication for uric acid too( Agout-febustat 40mg). Previously I was taking medication for -AST (SGOT)-85 U/L,ALT (SGPT)-271 U/L(now it's 26 and 25 respectively).
Vitiligo keep appearing on my skin despite taking medication for hypothyroidism.

Talk to experienced dermatologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition. Though, it is associated with hypothyroidism or diabetes, etc ; the treatment of vitiligo is different. You need to treat vitiligo as a separate condition.
Kindly take online consultation for the same.
