@thomkat Welcome to Mayo Connect. Vitiligo can be thought of as an autoimmune disease, but there hasn’t been much research into any of the autoimmune diseases. I just might have to look this up.

How long have you had vitiligo? It can be inherited—do any family members also have it?

I had severe pruitis for 16 months , 3 skin biopsies showed idiopathic ( we dont know) to my 1 million ant biting type pruitis..
I went to bed
on a tuesday night and Wednesday and when I woke up the itching was gone , but everywhere I was itching The pigment was gone, in all of my sweat areas.
My Va Md thought it was scabies treated 3 times lol it was never scabies my wife never got it..
Another trated me with a steroidal cream, nothing helped.
I am always very dehydrated
As I forget to drink, I am on a cpap that blows chemicals into my lungs and normal toxins That I should sweat out , I do not. Reading about people whom has vitiligo were in a profession that would
limit fluid intake to avoid perspiration,
So i was wondering if any study has been done to look into toxin build up and auto immune response?

No family history at all , i was wondering if a build up of toxins around the basal layer of skin Could cause an autoimmune response?
