Sunscreen greatly reduces the risk of skin cancer and is recommended as a critical component of sun protection. There is limited literature on patient preferences for sunscreen characteristics. A cross-sectional survey was administered to patients in an urban city and rural area in the United States. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) was consistently the most important factor for patients when selecting sunscreen. However, numerous preferences for sunscreen characteristics vary between the 2 regions, including dermatologist recommendation, texture, ingredients, cost, broad-spectrum, and brand. Gaps in patient knowledge of sunscreen recommendations may be present and further educational programs may be necessary. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(8):e171-e172. doi:10.36849/JDD.8449.
防晒霜大大降低了患皮肤癌的风险,因此被推荐为防晒的重要组成部分。然而,关于患者对防晒霜特性的偏好的文献有限。本研究在美国的一个城市和一个农村地区对患者进行了横断面调查。研究结果显示,当选择防晒霜时,防晒系数(SPF)始终是患者最重要的考虑因素。然而,在这两个地区,患者对防晒霜特性的偏好存在差异,包括皮肤科医生的推荐、质地、成分、价格、广谱性和品牌等。可能存在患者对防晒霜推荐的知识差距,因此可能需要进一步的教育计划。J 皮肤病药物治疗杂志。2024;23(8):e171-e172. doi:10.36849/JDD.8449.
