dc.description.abstractObjective: We wanted to examine how often patients with seborrheic dermatitis use social media to investigate their own diseases and seek treatment options. We believe that such incurable skin diseases are often abused on social media and the internet. Material and Methods: The 2-page questionnaire was delivered to participants who were being asked to fill out a 16-question questionnaire. The demographic information of the patients, the difficulties associated with the treatment of their disease, who they trust the most, their use of social media, which social media resources they use, and the changes in the severity of their illness after social media use were questioned. Results: The most frequently used social media platform was Instagram (63.6%) and YouTube (53%). After the social media recommendations, 35.2% of the patients stated that the severity of the disease did not change. 43.9% of the patients were compatible with the treatment guideline, and 19.7% were not. 15.2% of the patients complied with the guideline but also applied non-recommended lifestyle changes. Conclusion: This study showed that the majority of patients with seborrheic dermatitis are unsatisfied with the treatment of their disease and use social media very often to investigate the treatment of their diseases. Therefore, the data to be obtained in this regard can enable professionals to use social media more effectively so as to direct patients correctly and help protect patients from inappropriate treatments and high treatment costs.
