Doctor's advice:

• ‘It is important to learn to place greater confidence in the recommendations and the advice of a doctor rather than turn to ‘Dr. Google’ (it is a bad idea in dermatology). There was a case in my practice, when a patient, on the advice of a pharmacist, took ‘pills’ and ‘shots’. Having missed the timely diagnosis of syphilis, he infected his wife and children.’
