Disease Specific Support Groups

The internet has facilitated disease specific support groups for patients and their families. One of the earliest ones for skin diseases was N.O.A.H (National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation: https://www.albinism.org/ ).
The UTMB DIG, through its association with DIGA, has learned about an additional organization for those impacted by vitiligo ( see https://www.globalvitiligofoundation.org/support-groups ). Texas currently has vitiligo support groups in Dallas and in Houston according to this website.
