Skin Issues At-A-Glance

American Skin Association (ASA) cares about addressing skin-related illnesses and issues. By taking a macroscopic perspective, ASA channels needed resources towards the most prudent areas of skin research and public education.

It is from this perspective that we present our Skin Resource Center. Here you have the opportunity to learn about many widespread skin disorders and issues relating to public health. We have endeavored to present up-to-date information geared towards the general public on these particular skin health concerns. As it is beyond our scope to present a comprehensive treatment of all matters affecting the skin, we have included helpful links for additional information (under Additional Resources.)
