10 Causes of Vitiligo
Cause #6: Hashimoto’s Disease
Hashimoto’s disease, which is also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is a problem that affects the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is involved in a huge number of bodily processes, not the least of which is helping to regulate the immune system.
The thyroid is also involved in helping to regulate hormonal systems that control metabolism, body temperature, and strength. All of these things are involved in the proper maintenance of skin health. Throwing any of these systems out of balance can put someone at risk of developing vitiligo.
