Coalition of Skin Diseases

The Coalition of Skin Diseases (CSD) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that advocates on behalf of the 84 million Americans living with a skin condition.

By working independently, in coalition, and alongside advocacy organizations committed to patients living with dermatological conditions, the CSD aims to be at the forefront of progress toward a day where all individuals affected by skin disease have access to life-preserving/changing treatments and high-quality care.

In partnering with dermatologic patient advocacy organizations, professional associations, and industry stakeholders with a similar mission related to skin disease, we work to accomplish this by:

• Fostering education and awareness of skin diseases and disorders,
• Advocating for access to appropriate and quality health care and treatments,
• Contributing to burden and related skin disease research, and
• Strengthening dermatologic patient advocacy organizations through the sharing of resources
