Autoimmune Skin Disease Program
Expert care for all types of autoimmune skin diseases
Your immune system helps protect against germs. But sometimes, it makes mistakes like attacking healthy cells, and in doing so, causing an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune skin disease can cause a range of conditions, from skin rashes, hardened skin, blisters, and other symptoms. Our dermatologists have specialized expertise in caring for these complex, difficult-to-treat skin diseases.
Mass General Brigham houses one of the largest Autoimmune Skin Disease Programs in the world. Our experts are uniquely trained to provide up to date, novel, and cutting-edge treatment options for all patients with autoimmune skin disease—including newly diagnosed or difficult-to-treat disease.
Our team approach to your unique needs
Specialists at our Psoriasis Therapeutics Clinic provide comprehensive care incorporating the most advanced treatment for patients with concomitant systemic rhematic and skin diseases, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Our Connective Tissues Disease Clinic specialists provide innovative and comprehensive care for patients with lupus, dermatomyositis, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), morphea, vasculitis, and other autoimmune diseases.
Bullous diseases cause painful, fluid-filled blisters that easily break. Some types cause blisters in your eyes, mouth, and nose.
At our Bullous Disease Clinic, you receive expert care from dermatologists who specialize in treating these rare skin conditions. When needed, they partner with Mass General Brigham vision specialists (ophthalmologists), and ear, nose, and throat doctors (otolaryngologists) to manage all symptoms.
When appropriate, our dermatologists partner with other autoimmune disease specialists at Mass General Brigham to meet all your healthcare needs. Other specialists our experts routinely collaborate with include:
