Vitiligo is a long term skin condition that causes loss of pigment in patches of skin. It isn't contagious, it isn't caused by lifestyle, and it affects people of all ages and backgrounds.

We’re grateful to members of our community who share their experiences and help explain what living with a skin condition can really look like. Thank you

A new socioeconomic report, "Skin First: Counting the Cost of Peristomal Skin Complications", reveals that peristomal skin complications (PSCs) cost the NHS in England at least £28.1 million annually. This report emphasizes the significant financial and quality-of-life impact of PSCs on ostomates and the healthcare system.

The report, supported by Hollister Incorporated, calls for prioritising skin health and ensuring timely access to specialist stoma care to reduce these costs and improve patient outcomes. It also highlights the need for better education on recognising healthy peristomal skin and seeking help early.

The Skin Health Alliance supports the findings in the report.

Hollister CeraPlus™ ostomy products* have received official dermatological accreditation from the Skin Health Alliance, bringing confidence and reassurance to those who use the products.
