C.A.R.F. CEO Sheila Belkin and Board Member Gwendolyn Powell Todd give out information about CARF and all skin diseases at a booth for the Coalition of Skin Diseases (CSD) at the American Academy of Dermatology meeting in San Antonio, Texas.

We are now offering online registration for C.A.R.F.'s Third International Patient/Doctor Conference that will be held in Washington, DC from Friday, September 26 through Sunday, September 28, 2008.

Our patient/doctor conferences provide excellent opportunities to learn about the latest treatments and research breakthroughs for the cicatricial alopecias. They also provide a warm setting in which patients can meet each other and learn about ways of managing the medical and cosmetic challenges presented by these diseases.

We are pleased to report the success of our new patient support group in San Francisco. The purpose of a support group is to provide a nurturing environment in which patients can share feelings and discuss treatment experiences, learn coping strategies, and find support. Please check out our Patient Support and Conferences page for more details!
