It's difficult to find much good information on melatonin. I did find a study or article from Mayo Clinic not too long ago that mentioned that melatonin boosts the immune system so people with auto-immune issues should avoid that.

All the melatonin bottles I have seen have warnings that say do not take if you have an autoimmune disorder.

I found the article, kmeikle1.

Mayo Clinic - Melatonin https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-melatonin/art-20363071
See the section on "Safety and side effects"
"Don't use melatonin if you have an autoimmune disease."
