Thanks a lot for your nice response and we are suffering from non-segmental Vitiligo as per your interpretation. How to know exactly whether this is related to hypothyroidism or any other thyroid disorder.

Wijaya hello again to answer your question I checked online and the website is https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/vitil... The answer is , "Yes – but only certain types.There are two main types of vitiligo. Segmental vitiligo only appears in one area of the body. This type of vitiligo often starts at an early age and progresses for a few years before stopping. Non-segmental vitiligo appears on opposite sides of the body. The patches are symmetrical to each other. This type of vitiligo often starts later in life and can continue to progress over time.
Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common subtype, and doctors believe it is an autoimmune condition.
Similarly, some types of thyroid disease are autoimmune conditions. This includes Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease." 😀
