Skin Support

The following is an alphabetical list of national, regional and local patient support groups for people with skin disease. They are often run by volunteers who have the disease themselves, and many people find it enormously valuable to have such contact with others, both for support and for practical help.

Some groups may offer patient information as well as peer support. As with any organisation, it is important to review the source of the information. If you are planning any changes to the management of your condition based on the advice of other patients, it is always good practice to discuss this with a doctor, or other medical professional first.

Please note, these organisations are independent of the BAD. This list has been developed to help patients who are interested in exploring peer support groups. The BAD is not responsible for content produced by third-party organisations, nor by linking to the websites of organisations do we endorse the content of these organisations, whether on their website, forums, or social media channels.
