Summary

This study measures how much time adults spend on screens (smartphones, computers, tablets, and TV) and checks if higher screen time is linked to specific skin conditions. Researchers will compare screen time across different dermatological diagnoses in patients visiting a dermatology clinic. The goal is to see whether excessive screen exposure might be associated with certain skin problems.

What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could point to screen time as a factor in certain skin conditions, guiding future prevention advice.
What could go wrong
