    Vitiligo developed in a woman with dermatitis herpetiformis. This suggests vitiligo can be an isomorphic reaction to active dermatitis herpetiformis lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Autoimmunology

    Background:

    • Dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune blistering skin condition.
    • Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder causing depigmentation.
    • Both conditions are linked to autoimmune processes.

    Observation:

    • A 36-year-old woman presented with vitiligo.
    • The vitiligo lesions appeared in areas of active dermatitis herpetiformis.

    Findings:

    • The case suggests vitiligo can manifest as an isomorphic reaction.
    • This reaction occurred specifically in response to dermatitis herpetiformis.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the understanding of vitiligo's potential triggers.
    • It highlights the Koebner phenomenon in autoimmune dermatoses.
    • Further research may explore shared pathomechanisms between these conditions.
