▲ 3 r/Vitiligo+2 crossposts

Newly Diagnosed

I am 44yo F. I recently developed vitiligo. My dermatologist told me that thyroid issues are more common in people with vitiligo.

I went to my PCP and had labs drawn. I found out that I am iron deficient with a ferritin of 2.

Additionally, I was told I have Hashimoto thyroid disease.

TSH 2.494
T4, free 0.79
TPO 186

Thyroid Ultrasound Next week.

I really don’t know what to think about any of this. My doctor offered to put me on a low dose of Synthroid-if I was having symptoms. Which I find interesting, since my TSH and T4 are normal.

I am trying to process all of this information. Any advice would be appreciated
