Article Synopsis
- TikTok has become a popular source for information on skin conditions like topical steroid withdrawal (TSW), but many videos lack clarity and quality, with only 10% defining TSW.
- The study analyzed the top 100 TikTok videos on TSW using multiple scoring systems and noted that most videos were created by White, middle-aged women and often failed to explain steroid use or its side effects.
- Despite their poor quality—with an average DISCERN score of just 1.63—the videos reached a large audience, generating over 200 million views and prompting concerns about misinformation regarding TSW.
