“…[15] Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is found in 1-7% of patients with vitiligo and conversely 4.8% of all diabetic patients were found to have vitiligo. [1120] These findings in conjunction with ours clearly establish that it is very useful to screen all patients with non-segmental vitiligo for thyroid dysfunction and diabetes mellitus. We suggest that all pediatric patients with vitiligo should be routinely subjected to thyroid screening as the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis is particularly important in this age group to avoid the negative impact of hypothyroidism on growth and health status.…”

“…They were also asked to use sunscreen. Then, the patients were examined once monthly and one month after the last treatment, the severity of the disease based on Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) score on each side and other information were recorded in a questionnaire.
