Only one in six countries has enough dermatologists to meet its population’s needs, according to the Global Access to Skin Health Observatory Study, recently published in 𝘑𝘈𝘔𝘈 𝘋𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.

For people living with psoriasis, these gaps can mean a longer wait for diagnosis and treatment.

The study’s Data Explorer, developed by the International League of Dermatological Societies (@ildsderm) and L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty, maps access to care across 158 countries. Use it to make the case for skin health in your region.

Now, a working group of experts, established by @ildsderm, is aiming to raise awareness and educate consumers about the dangers of #skinbleaching through a new campaign called The ILDS Movement for Safe Skin—challenging harmful #skinlightening practices.

Vitiligo was impossible to miss at EADV 2026 in Vienna! @eadv_

An exciting congress showcasing major advances in dermatology and new hope for patients living with skin conditions.

I had the pleasure of chairing and speaking at a packed vitiligo session, exploring disease mechanisms, associated conditions and treatment innovations. Particularly exciting were the positive results from three Phase 3 clinical trial programmes @abbvie @pfizerinc and @incyte which I was delighted to highlight alongside other late-breaking research and posters I contributed to.

Beyond vitiligo, I enjoyed being part of the Meet the Experts session on acne with @galderma , focusing on early treatment and preventing scarring, and an expert roundtable on atopic dermatitis (eczema) and advances in biologic therapies. These developments are particularly relevant to our new Biologics and Advanced Therapies Clinic at New Cross Hospital, The @rwt_nhs Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust.
Pleasure to contribute to meaningful discussions with @UmerDoctorOfficial and @TalkMed.
Valuable discussions with @ildsderm, @glova_global_vitiligo_atlas and international colleagues also helped advance our global research into vitiligo, eczema, psoriasis, alopecia areata and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Exciting science, promising new treatments and international collaboration — all working towards better care and outcomes for patients!

Make your voice heard! 🗣️
We need your voice!
How should diseases related to pruritus and prurigo be clearly described and defined?
That is exactly what an international project by IDEOM and ILDS, led by Sonja Ständer and Brian Kim, is working on.
Together with doctors, scientists, patient organizations and, most importantly, people living with these conditions, we want to develop clear and consistent definitions for different diseases.
The current project focuses on:
• Lichen amyloidosus
• Somatoform pruritus – symptoms in which psychological factors play an important role
• Drug-induced pruritus – symptoms caused by medication
• Paraneoplastic pruritus – symptoms associated with cancer
• Postherpetic pruritus – symptoms that can occur after shingles
We are looking for patients!
If you live with one of these conditions, we would like to invite you to share your perspective.
You will be shown several statements about the condition and asked whether you think each statement is appropriate. Depending on the condition, there will be no more than 10 statements to rate.
⏱️ The survey takes about 20 minutes, and you only need to participate once.
How can you take part?
Simply send us a DM! 📩
Please include:
👉 Your name
👉 Your email address
and let us know which of the conditions listed above you have.
Please note: Before taking part, we will need proof that you have the condition. If you meet the participation requirements, you will then receive a link to the survey and can submit your responses.
📅 Please contact us by 1 November 2026.
Your experience as a patient is particularly valuable to this project. Living with a condition gives you an important perspective on how that condition should be described and understood.
Make your voice heard and be part of this important project! 💙

Make your voice heard! 🗣️Wir brauchen Ihre Stimme!
Wie sollen Erkrankungen rund um Pruritus und Prurigo eindeutig beschrieben und definiert werden?
Genau darum geht es in einem internationalen Projekt der IDEOM und ILDS unter der Leitung von Sonja Ständer und Brian Kim.
Gemeinsam mit Ärztinnen und Ärzten, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, Patientenorganisationen und vor allem auch betroffenen Patientinnen und Patienten möchten wir einheitliche und verständliche Definitionen für verschiedene Erkrankungen entwickeln.
Im aktuellen Projekt geht es um:
• Lichen amyloidosus
• Somatoformer Pruritus – Beschwerden, bei denen psychische Faktoren eine wichtige Rolle spielen
• Medikamentös induzierter Pruritus – Beschwerden, die durch Medikamente ausgelöst werden
• Paraneoplastischer Pruritus – Beschwerden im Zusammenhang mit einer Tumorerkrankung
• Postherpetischer Pruritus – Beschwerden, die nach einer Gürtelrose auftreten können
Wir suchen Patientinnen und Patienten!
Wenn Sie von einer dieser Erkrankungen betroffen sind, möchten wir Sie herzlich einladen, Ihre persönliche Einschätzung einzubringen.
Sie bekommen verschiedene Aussagen zur jeweiligen Erkrankung und sollen angeben, ob Sie dieser Aussage zustimmen. Je nach Erkrankung sind es höchstens 10 Aussagen.
⏱️ Die Teilnahme dauert ungefähr 20 Minuten und Sie müssen nur einmal abstimmen.
So können Sie mitmachen:
Schreiben Sie uns einfach eine DM! 📩
Bitte schicken Sie uns dabei:
👉 Ihren Namen 👉 Ihre E-Mail-Adresse
und teilen Sie uns mit, an welcher der genannten Erkrankungen Sie leiden.
Wichtig: Für die Teilnahme benötigen wir später einen Nachweis über die Erkrankung. Wenn die Voraussetzungen erfüllt sind, erhalten Sie anschließend einen Link zur Teilnahme und können Ihre Abstimmung durchführen.
📅 Bitte melden Sie sich bis spätestens 01.11.2026 bei uns.
Ihre Erfahrung als betroffene Person ist für dieses Projekt besonders wertvoll. Denn wer mit einer Erkrankung lebt, bringt eine wichtige Perspektive in die Frage ein, wie diese Erkrankung beschrieben und verstanden werden sollte.
Machen Sie Ihre Stimme hörbar und werden Sie Teil dieses wichtigen Projekts! 💙
