vitiligo and thyroid problems
Just wondering if anyone here has vitiligo and thyroid problems.
Vitiligo showed up when I was around 12 and thyroid nodulues (sp?) showed up on an ultrasound three years ago. Just last week the ultrasound showed on the the nodulues had grown by a centimeter. Blood work not back yet so I can't say it I do have low/high tsh.
I have been researching thyroid disease and vitiligo is mentioned to be a possible link to thyroid complications.
Tomorrow I am making an appointment to get a biopsy of the growing nodulue. Won't know more until after that test is done.
Those of you wondering what is vitiligo; it is a skin color disorder that causes white spots on the skin. It may be an autoimmune disorder. Not sure, research unclear.
