- Anyone can call himself a health expert and offer free advice. The sites below have been reviewed by our staff and offer credible information regarding skin disease.
- Be careful of sites that want to sell you drugs or other remedies. Information on these sites may be geared toward selling the product without consideration of broader health issues.
- A good site can lead to a bad one. By following links from one site to another, you might go from a very reputable site to a very questionable one. Most websites do not guarantee that the sites they offer links to have reliable content.
- Just because a site's name appears first or frequently on your web search, does not mean it is the best. Advertisers and marketers pack web sites with words they know will be searched frequently and pay to have those words registered on many different search engines.
- Watch any advice you receive on bulletin boards or in chat rooms. Think of chat rooms as entertainment, not as a safe place to find medical advice.
- You should not have to pay to receive good advice. Most of the worthwhile medical information on the Internet is free.
Remember, your doctor should be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you feel comfortable with your doctor, you should feel able to discuss any information you find on the Internet with him/her. The Internet is a good place to start but the bottom line should be what is the best treatment for you and this is a decision that should be made by you and your physician.
