Our End-of-August Newsletter Is Out
Back to School, Back to Reality
Vitiligo apparently had a busy summer.
Our latest VRF newsletter is heading to inboxes.
This one starts where many families are right now: back to school, new classmates, new questions, and the occasional seven-year-old who suddenly develops an intense professional interest in dermatology.
From there, things get stranger.
A new study adds another number to the debate over vitiligo and hearing loss. We look at what military fitness rules actually say about vitiligo. Oral therapies continue moving forward.
And yes, strangers can now bet money on whether clinical trials succeed.
Welcome back to reality.
