“…Young patients with acne issues frequently look for assistance online through social media. Teenagers with acne might search online for quick home remedies for pimples and apply toothpaste or apple cider vinegar to the pimple, getting burned [7][8][9].

Systematic ReviewBackground: As the usage of social media has dramatically increased in a few decades it has affected the field of cosmetic dermatology. Social media can help to improve patient care and a cosmetic dermatologist can use social media to eliminate false information that spreads online. However, the majority of patients prefer to take advice from a nondermatologist rather than a certified dermatologist which negatively impacts patients' healthcare and the doctor-patient relationship. Objective: it was to find out how social media usage can impact the field of cosmetic dermatology and what challenges cosmetic dermatologists face while using social media platforms. Methods: We performed a literature review using papers from PubMed and many other resources involving social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, and blogs. Results: There are not enough clinical trials done to conclude whether the usage of social media is a pro or a con. A cosmetic dermatologist can face ethical challenges like protecting patients' rights to privacy and autonomy. Also, research has shown that top posts related to cosmetic dermatology and articles written by a board-certified dermatologist are in a small percentage.

“…2 Varghese et al reported on a patient who was taking LTG without valproic acid whose skin progression stopped within 3 days after halting the use of the medication. 3 In addition, in a previously published case of TEN, with management including IV dexamethasone, IV cyclosporine, and a single dose of etanercept, the time to complete re-epithelialization was 12 days. 4 However, with similar management, in this case, skin re-epithelialization was prolonged to 17 days which is theoretically caused by valproic acid interaction rather than a failure of management.…”

CAM therapies are numerous in this space, and patients desperate for relief are likely to try such therapies at home.…”

“…Yellow urticaria, however, presents with a predominant neutrophilic infiltrate and bilirubin deposition that is oxidized and highlighted as olive green by Hall's stain. 3 Nevertheless, yellow urticaria is a clinical diagnosis.One may argue that bilirubin induced the inflammatory infiltrate rather than urticaria. However, the patient's lesions did not correlate with bilirubin levels, and in fact, bilirubin's antioxidant properties reduce inflammation.…”
