Rosacea? Melasma? Acne? Building community sites around medical conditions.
Self Organized Patient Communities
Patients with medical conditions often turn to each other for support. The web allows them to build a community no matter where they're located or how uncommon the condition.
Rosacea Patient Communities
If you read these types of community posts you'll discover that there's a lot if information, but there are very few if any physicians participation in the discussion, even anonymously.
- Rosacea Support Group
- Rosacea, Yahoo Health Group
- Rosacea News (a blog about Rosacea)
I read any number of sites each day where physicians are disseminating information, but not in these groups. Curious.
