Welcome members of the FIRST family to our website, dedicated to providing up-to-date and reliable information on the skin and the skin barrier in health and disease. As professors, physicians and researchers in dermatology at the University of California San Francisco, we’ve spent our careers studying the inside-out of skin. There are many misconceptions about the skin, and it’s not always easy to know how to best care for it.
We hope you will take a moment to look around our site. Here are topics of potential interest.
- Articles on Ichthyosis
- Articles on Atopic Dermatitis
- An article on Psoriasis
We also offer a Special Report, Taking Good Care of Your Skin, which you can subscribe to on the right. It offers up-to-date scientific information on how the skin works and practical information for how to care for it. To get your copy and receive periodic updates by email, just sign up.
