Indiana University dermatology clinical trials are addressing the most pressing skin concerns in Indiana and beyond.

We conduct clinical trials to explore new options for various chronic dermatological conditions.

Your immune system interacts with hair follicles differently depending on the type of alopecia you have.

Indiana University is actively enrolling participants for ongoing alopecia clinical studies. You can make an impact on dermatology care by participating.

Every journey with an autoimmune condition looks a little different, and catching these subtle signs helps you stay ahead of your care.

If you are looking for more options than standard creams, our vitiligo clinical trials offer a path to explore the latest research at no cost.

The follicles stay alive, which means hair can always grow back. But because the immune system flares without warning, hair can fall out just as quickly.

Healing isn't a simple before-and-after; it is a frustratingly unpredictable cycle.

If you’re living with alopecia, consider joining our active trials to help advance alopecia care.

When a flare hits, paying attention to what you feel is just as important as watching what you see.

Jotting down whether a patch burns, itches, or stays painless gives your doctor a clearer picture of which treatment will actually bring relief.

When you live with Palmoplantar Keratoderma (PPK), everyday tasks turn into a constant battle with thick, cracked skin.

Researchers at Indiana University are currently testing new potential treatment options for PPK, at no cost, with no insurance needed.

Flares aren't always triggered by sun or stress - sometimes, everyday medications play a role.

Drug-induced lupus (and medication-triggered cutaneous lupus) can occur after starting certain prescription drugs, including specific blood pressure medications, antibiotics, or anti-arrhythmics. Symptoms often look like classic lupus skin rashes, but they require a careful evaluation with your healthcare provider to manage safely.

Indiana University is currently enrolling participants for ongoing lupus clinical trials. You can help advance autoimmune research and care by participating.

Same condition, completely different presentation.

Androgenetic alopecia is driven by genetic sensitivity to androgens, but how it shows up often depends on biological s*x:

In men: Hair thinning typically begins at the temples and hairline, eventually progressing to a receding "M" shape or a bald patch at the crown.

In women: Thinning is usually diffuse, most noticeable as a widening part along the center of the scalp, while the frontal hairline rarely recedes.

Having vitiligo doesn’t mean your immune system is weak or that you catch colds more easily.

It actually means your immune system is working overtime, it just gets confused and targets healthy pigment cells by mistake.

Indiana University is currently enrolling participants for active vitiligo clinical trials. You can help advance dermatology care by participating.

Moisturizers trap water, but they don't stop the underlying immune signals behind painful fissures and relentless itch.

If your barrier isn't repairing, clinical trials may offer new possibilities. Learn more about active atopic dermatitis studies at Indiana University.
