Teledermatology via a free public social networking Web site is a practical tool to provide attention to patients who do not have access to dermatologic care. In this pilot study, a general practitioner sent consults to a dermatology department at a general hospital via Facebook(®). Forty-four patients were seen and treatment was installed. We identified both simple-to-treat, common skin diseases and rare congenital diseases that require genetic counseling and more complex treatment. The majority of patients (75%) benefited with the diagnoses and treatments offered, thus avoiding unnecessary expenses or transportation to urban areas.
通过免费的公共社交网站进行远程皮肤病学服务是为无法获得皮肤病护理的患者提供关注的实用工具。在这项试点研究中，一名全科医生通过 Facebook（®）向一家综合医院的皮肤科发送了咨询。共诊治了 44 名患者，并进行了治疗。我们发现了一些既简单又常见的皮肤病，也发现了一些需要遗传咨询和更复杂治疗的罕见先天性疾病。大多数患者（75%）受益于提供的诊断和治疗，从而避免了不必要的费用或前往城市地区的交通费用。
