Can hypothyroidism lead to vitilligo?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not directly: Hypothyroidism does not directly cause vitiligo, but both are autoimmune conditions (caused by antibodies), so vitiligo is somewhat more common in people who are hypothyroid than in those who are not.

Often together: Hashimoto's disease -- a very common cause of hypothhyroidism -- and vitiligo often run together.
