Dr mohammed once you have one autoimmune disease the chances are that you will get an other.
patient does have vitiligo and skin problems therefore I though Hypothyroid fitted it better. Now Dr. K what is the Ans?

I think there is already an autoimmune process running because of Eczema and vitiligo. So this can lead to a dysthyroidism.
