Support Groups

Support comes from all over. Often times, it is closer than you think. Here is our listing of groups, associations, and organizations that support pemphigus and pemphigoid patients and caregivers. If you have a group you would like listed here, please contact us.

Note: Information is a key factor in treating and living with any condition. However, every patient’s situation is unique. The IPPF reminds you that any information found on the internet or during presentations should be discussed with your own doctor or healthcare team to determine if it applies to your specific situation.
