Post Body

Every day, we continue to see posts asking for medical advice/diagnoses. This is not the place for that! We're here to share skincare routines, etc., not play doctor.

What constitutes medical advice?

"What is this?"

This is asking someone to diagnose the issue, and is medical advice.

"What should I do?"

This is asking someone to advise treatment, and is medical advice.

"Should I go to the doctor?"

This is asking if you should seek treatment, and ergo, medical advice.

If you would ask the question of your doctor, it falls under this rule and not allowed.

As a general rule, asking for medical advice from internet strangers is never a good idea. If you have questions regarding your condition, you are advised to contact your healthcare provider. If you are a medical provider, we would gently remind you that users are not patients, and you should not be offering medical advice to people who are not your patients. If you are not a medical provider, then you definitely should not be offering medical advice to anyone.

Thank you!
