    TLDR Social media can motivate young Polish adults to visit a dermatologist.
    A study conducted on young Polish adults found that 81% of them engage with dermatology-related content on social media, focusing primarily on skincare and skin diseases. Nearly half of the participants were motivated by social media to consult a dermatologist. Additionally, there was a 56% consistency between the diagnoses made by healthcare professionals and those suggested by social media users.
