Thank you for your response! I normally get the flu shot, I’ve gotten the Covid vaccine only 3 of them and stopped. Not interested in getting any more of those. A week after my husband received his, he went into AFIB and had to get his heart shocked back into rhythm. No prior heart issues, he’s only 38 and now has to take meds for the rest of his life and sees a cardiologist yearly.
I have had vitiligo since I was 10 months old. I’m now 33 yo. Please continue to get the flu shot. There is no research saying it affects pigment in anyway. Flu shot is administered into the muscle and not the skin layer.
I've been in Vitiligo forums for several years and follow the disease pretty closely, but this is the first time I've heard someone claim vaccinations cause the skin disease to spread.
I got the COVID vaccine. I now haveTinnitus ( with no hearing loss) and my vitiligo is spreading. Old areas are enlarging and now I have it on both hands.
Oh wow. I’m sorry to hear that. I stopped getting the Covid Vaccine, I received 3 of them. I was the 1st group able to get it, due to I work on the dental field. I stopped bc a week after my husband got his vaccine, he went into AFIB. I had to take him to the hospital, meds didn’t help get his heart back into rhythm, so they had to shock it. Now he is on heart medicine and has to see a cardiologist yearly.
The flu vaccine is an intramuscular injection. It is not injected into or under layers of your skin like an intradermal or subcutaneous injection.
Does your vitiligo spread when you get little scrapes and cuts? All youre doing is poking a hole in your skin and dumping a vaccine in the fatty muscle of your upper arm. It will not impact your skin except for temporary redness at the injection site.
The flu vaccine has been out long enough and given to billions of individuals at this point, there are no contraindications for vitiligo. The only skin related contraindication would be if you are prone to keloid scarring and even then, can be mitigated by proper injection technique and follow up care.

You need to approach this from a perspective where you understand nothing will ever be allowed to stand in the way of healthcare profits. I work in medicine and a doctor in my area what found to be putting knee replacements in people who didn’t need them. Nothing happened to him, the guy who reported it was fired.
and of course you 100% believe the guy who reported him, who probably not being patients' treating provider should not even have access to those patients records, not to mention qualification to determine whether patients needed the TKN or not lol.
Probably fired for either poking into the records he had no business touching, or making these claims without being qualified to do so (likely both)
If it is as frequent as you say then this doc would already be under review by the state licensing board purely on the basis that he must be prescribing massive amounts of opioids for post-op pain management and that red flags your DEA license very quickly.
Are you at all fascinated with yourself commenting on someone you’ve never met? Questioning me? Questioning the other surgeons in my area? You must be a god to know all of this.
I am a medical provider and it is a responsibility of my profession to correct misinformation and suppress anecdotal fearmongering. If you’d like to help me make a more informed response then please send me information about the surgeon and procedures in question
Doctors tend to be intelligent dummies. They can all ace a standard sized test, but their kids are constantly sick. My story was published in area papers where I live, I’m done now, you probably one of the genius overweight docs.
Why are you withholding the story if it was published? I would like to read it, the way you are going about this is sensationalist and without evidence to your claim I would side with the medical professional although it would be irresponsible of me to act as if medical malpractice does not exist.

He was 37 when it happened.
I’ve gotten the flu shot for 15 years and it’s never activated my vitiligo.

No connection between the flu vaccine and vitiligo.
I always get it, and to be honest even if it did accelerate the spread it’s a small price to pay. It’s only cosmetic after all, it doesn’t harm you
I've been in Vitiligo forums for several years and follow the disease pretty closely, but this is the first time I've heard someone claim vaccinations cause the skin disease to spread.
It’s been a thing as of recent on here. It seems the conspiracy crew has found their next target to spread misinformation.

I'm fully vaccinated and my vitiligo isn't spreading any differently than before COVID. Show me some data or I'm calling bullshit on all of this.

What makes you think your experience is indicative of most people with vitiligo? Again - show me data.
I got the COVID vaccine. I now haveTinnitus ( with no hearing loss) and my vitiligo is spreading. Old areas are enlarging and now I have it on both hands.

Anyone who knows ortho knows the sales reps know a lot about how the procedure is done and is often advising the surgeon what to do.
If it is as frequent as you say then this doc would already be under review by the state licensing board purely on the basis that he must be prescribing massive amounts of opioids for post-op pain management and that red flags your DEA license very quickly.
This is known by everyone who works in ortho in my area. It’s not anecdotal. You’re hilarious acting like you have a clue.
“This is known by everyone I know and so is true” Is the exact definition of anecdotal
