However, little is known about social media's impact on acne treatment. The purpose of the study sought to characterize the influence of social media use on acne treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a cross\u2010sectional survey of West Virginia University ambulatory patients whose chief complaint was acne was conducted. The survey collected sociodemographics and queried whether individuals accessed social media for acne treatment advice or not, whether changes to acne care were made based on social media, and whether these changes aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) clinical guidelines for acne management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 130 respondents, 45% consulted social media for acne treatment advice (54% of women vs 31% of men). 41% of adolescents and 51% of adults consulted social media. The most used platforms were YouTube and Instagram (58% each). Social media users often tried an OTC treatment (81%) or dietary modification (40%). However, only 31% of participants consulting social media made changes fully aligned with AAD clinical guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Social media\u2010influenced acne treatment advice is prevalent, especially among women, adolescents, and young adults. This treatment advice frequently does not align with AAD guidelines, with notably 40% of respondents choosing dietary modification for acne management. These results suggest that dermatologists should inquire about social media acne treatment advice and directly address misinformation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.14091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,16]],"date-time":"2020-01-16T08:00:02Z","timestamp":1579161602000},"page":"301-304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["The influence of social media on acne treatment: A cross\u2010sectional survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3827-339X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Yousaf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachael","family":"Hagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"},{"name":"West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine Lewisburg WV USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Delaney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy, Management &amp; Leadership West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zachary","family":"Zinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology West Virginia University Morgantown WV USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.01.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.3758"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-016-1691-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.12149"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2015.12.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","unstructured":"AndersonM TeensJJ.Social Media & Technology 2018.
