The Internet provides both education and miseducation for acne patients. Although some sites provide disease background information and objective treatment guidance, support networks, and research findings, others may seem to be objective on the surface, but are in reality run by untrained, self-proclaimed experts or are promotional in nature. Providers must be aware of the potential benefits and pitfalls the Internet provides for those suffering with acne.
互联网为痤疮患者提供了既有教育意义又有误导性的信息。虽然一些网站提供了疾病背景信息、客观的治疗指导、支持网络和研究结果,但其他一些网站表面上看似客观,实际上却是由未经培训、自称专家的人运营,或者本质上是促销性质的。提供者必须意识到互联网为痤疮患者带来的潜在益处和陷阱。
