New-Onset Vitiligo and Change in Disease Status Following COVID-19 Vaccination and COVID-19 Infection-An Online Survey.

This study aimed to identify the proportion of patients with vitiligo reporting new-onset disease or changes in disease status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection using an online survey. Among 114 respondents, over half reported no new-onset vitiligo or a change in vitiligo status following COVID-19 vaccination or infection; however, a sizeable minority reported worsening of vitiligo, smaller numbers reported new-onset disease, and few reported improvement. Larger studies are needed to clarify whether these associations are coincidental or reflect underlying pathological processes.
