We Take Advocating
for Patients Seriously
The CSD works to improve the lives of over 84 million Americans living with dermatological conditions by supporting member organizations in developing, building, and enhancing their current advocacy initiatives. We are also the conduit through which our members speak with one voice to policy-makers and regulators about the debilitating nature of dermatological diseases and barriers to access, treatment, and research.
