After a full body skin examination, specific forms of vitiligo may require blood examination or other medical tests.
Vitiligo can be generally divided into three classification types: localized, generalized and universal (involving more than 80% of the skin): according to this, different blood tests or specific examinations are necessary.
Thyroid disorders and autoimmune diseases should be investigated in generalized and universal forms.
Ophthalmologic and auditory investigations can be useful in generalized and universal forms.
Localized vitiligo usually does not require blood tests or further medical examinations.
In conclusion, generalized and universal vitiligo per se, require the investigation of thyroid disorders and other autoimmune diseases, as well as ophthalmologic and auditory investigations.
