Researchers from Northwestern University are conducting a research survey on the use of natural remedies, supplements and camouflage by vitiligo patients, so that dermatologists can provide them with more competent and relevant care.

  • Investigator: Roopal Kundu, MD and Sneha Poondru, BA
  • Supported By: Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Dermatology
  • Eligibility: age 18 or over, have a diagnosis of vitiligo, AND live in the United States
  • Contacts: NUderm-research@northwestern.edu or (312)503-5944.

We would love for those who are 18+ and live in the United States to take this survey. It is totally anonymous and takes about 5-7 minutes.
