5Hyperthyroidism
The overproduction of thyroid hormones in the body is known as hyperthyroidism. This health issue occurs when your thyroid gland is damaged or affected. This organ is responsible for many key roles in the body such as controlling metabolism, regulating internal temperature, enhancing muscle strength, and more. People with hyperthyroidism will have an excessive amount of T3 or triiodothyronine and T4 or tetraiodothyronine. Those hormones will cause your skin cells to destroy themselves, thus causing white patches around the body. [5]
