There are one million people in the UK who suffer from psoriasis. At least 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are reported each year. 20% of all children have eczema. The number of people suffering from skin disease grows each day. The dermatological community acknowledges the significance of these figures and the urgent need to stem the growth of skin disease in the UK.

The British Skin Foundation plays a vital role in addressing this issue by funding the work aimed at finding better treatments for all conditions.
