DRESS Hero is our annual awards event that celebrates medical professionals from around the world who excel at providing treatment and care for DRESS Syndrome patients.
​
Open worldwide, DRESS Syndrome patients and loved ones can nominate more than one medical professional. They can be doctors, dermatologists, pharmacists, surgeons, or another medical professional who made a significant difference in your or a loved one's diagnosis and treatment of DRESS Syndrome.

In our 2nd DRESS Heroes awards event, individuals in our patient community nominated professionals who they feel made a difference in their or their loved one's life during their DRESS experience. From Argentina to France to the US and beyond, nominations came in from around the world and included doctors, dermatologists, and more!
Here's an example of how one doctor made a difference for a DRESS patient:
“They saved my life! I had been misdiagnosed and had gone to the ER 5 times before my case came before Dr. Coleman. He knew immediately I had DRESS Syndrome and how to treat it. He stayed on top of my case, saw me every week, and even provided his after-hours phone number. Dr. Coleman is what all doctors should strive to be like.”
