Welcome to the Degos Patients’ Support Network website!
This website has been devised by Judith Calder, a Degos patient in Sussex, England, with the full co-operation and support of Professor Christos Zouboulis, Director of the Departments of Dermatology and Immunology, Dessau Medical Centre, Germany.
There is information and space for patients, their carers and relatives, their doctors and researchers.
The Degos Patients' Support Network is a contact group, a support group and an information hub for those affected by Degos disease. Medical professionals who are seeking help will find information, links to medical sites and to ongoing research.
As Degos disease is an extremely rare disease, we welcome input from those affected by it. We also welcome donations to help with the running of the Support Network and to assist the research into the disease.
We will always listen.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
