Dr. Andrea Rustad is a dermatology resident who is planning to specialize in pediatric dermatology, and has a special interest in genetic skin conditions. She has previously written a children’s book on ichthyosis, a group of rare genetic skin conditions, called Skin-Vincible, which has made a strong positive impact on the ichthyosis community. She believes strongly in the power of storytelling to help kids with rare conditions feel seen and positively represented. She has written a book on Gorlin syndrome and hopes to publish it this year. The input of those affected by Gorlin syndrome and their families is so important to make sure it authentically represents the experience and community, and she looks forward to getting your feedback on the book before it is published!
