Which hormones are associated with vitiligo

First, human melanocyte stimulating hormone may be secreted by the cells secreting corticotropin in the anterior pituitary. Melanocyte stimulating hormone is divided into a and β. When patients are treated with a large amount of melanocyte stimulating hormone, local pigmentation will occur in a short time. After the clinical use of corticotropin, many patients have Addison's disease like pigmentation, the original pigmented nevus color deepened, and new pigmented nevus, which may be due to the fact that corticotropin contains melanin stimulating hormone.

Second: corticosteroids: prednisone, dexamethasone and cyanocortisone are secreted by the adrenal cortex, and their effects on melanin metabolism are mainly related to the stimulation of melanocytes.

Third: under normal circumstances, the levels of melanin stimulating hormone and corticosteroids in the blood are relatively balanced. Once the imbalance occurs, the skin color will be affected.
