A Multi-Centered Case-Control Study of Vitiligo Support Groups and Quality of Life

CONCLUSIONS: Vitiligo support group membership is associated with worse QoL. Individuals with vitiligo who have worse QoL, chronic, and/or untreated vitiligo may be more likely to seek out vitiligo support groups. Support group referral should be considered in the therapeutic management of vitiligo, particularly in patients whose QoL is more significantly impacted, who fail or are who are without access to treatment or have longstanding disease.
