Celebrating Our Anniversary
Educate, inspire, and connect those touched by ichthyosis and related disorders through emotional support, information, advocacy, and research funding for better treatments and eventual cures.
The Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types, Inc.™ is fortunate to have an elite group of nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field of dermatology on its board of medical advisors. This group of dermatologists and researchers meets annually in conjunction with the American Academy of Dermatology, serves as a referral source for members, edits publications, supplies and edits articles for the quarterly newsletter, The Ichthyosis Focus, and keeps FIRST and its members abreast of current research and state-of-the-art treatments for ichthyosis.
