I have read a bupa report and it says:
Risk Factors for hypothyroidisom
.Autoimmune hypothyroidism is more likely in those who have other conditions resulting from an autoimmune disorder such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, vitiligo and Addisons disease.
I have problems with my thyroids and I have very bad vitiligo on my hands, legs, under arms when I go out in the sun it is very white and have to be very carefull not to burn. I do not understand what it means can anybody help me.....
My doctor has never mentioned this to me

In some cases Vitiligo may be hereditary and run in families.
The basis for the association between vitiligo and autoimmune diseases is not well understood. Moreover, the connection between them seems optional. Most people with vitiligo, fortunately, have no autoimmune disease such as hyperthyroidism, adrenocortical insufficiency, alopecia areata or pernicious anemia.
