"Speaking of Vitiligo..."

I am a physician-scientist who focuses my clinical and research efforts on vitiligoI am a physician-scientist who focuses my clinical and research efforts on vitiligo, and therefore I think about this disease a lot – all the time, in fact. Therefore I thought it would be helpful to share my thoughts with others who are interested in vitiligo as well, particularly the patients who suffer from it and their loved ones. I want to make clear that while I am affiliated with many vitiligo organizations, my comments in this blog are my own, and do not reflect the opinions of those organizations. In addition, my research is largely focused on finding new treatments, and ultimately a cure, for vitiligo. This work is supported by a number of sources, including pharmaceutical companies, which by definition creates potential conflicts of interest. In full disclosure, here is a list of our vitiligo research supporters. Please know that, to the best of my ability, all of my comments are unbiased reflections of my understanding of vitiligo as both a physician and scientist. I do not permit advertisements on my website, and do not endorse companies or products that may advertise on other sites that may be referenced here.

Excitement is Building - World Vitiligo Day 2016!

Posted On: Friday, June 24, 2016

I am sitting on the plane to Washington DC, preparing to attend the first World Vitiligo Day rally. Many are scheduled to attend, including patients, physician experts, researchers, and others who support the cause. During the rally we will listen to each others’ stories, hear from doctors who take care of vitiligo patients, learn about new research, and experience “vitiligo and the arts” through vocal performances and a fashion show. Excitement is building!
