Context: Melasma is a common dermatosis in the country; predominates in women. Globally there is limited and controversial information on the relationship between melasma and thyroid autoimmunity. In the country there are no studies on this association. If it were the case, patients with melasma would have a high risk of suffering thyroid pathologies.
Objective: to characterize the association between melasma and thyroid autoimmunity in women older than 18 years.
Material and methods: cross-sectional study in women older than 18 years of age who attend an outpatient clinic of the Dermatology Service of the Hospital San Francisco de Quito, belonging to the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security IESS, in the period April 2014-June 2015, diagnosed as melasma .
