    Dermatology and Alternative Therapies
    TLDR More people are using alternative therapies alongside traditional treatments for skin issues to improve their quality of life.
    The document discussed the growing interest in alternative therapies for dermatological issues, with 35% to 69% of patients trying complementary or alternative medicine. This trend was attributed to the portrayal of these therapies as effective and safe, alongside the limitations of conventional treatments. Dermatological conditions significantly impacted patients' quality of life, sometimes more than cancer. As a result, there was an increasing inclination towards integrative approaches, combining conventional and alternative therapies, including natural remedies, acupuncture, and lifestyle interventions, to improve dermatological care.
