Summary:In this study, we evaluated ChatGPT 3.5 responses to common patient questions about acne and atopic dermatitis. While ChatGPT generally provided accurate and comprehensive answers, its readability was at the college level, which is above the recommended grade for patient materials. Significant information gaps were also noted, including omissions of newer treatments, probably because of the model’s training limitations up to mid-2021. Despite these limitations, ChatGPT can be a valuable resource, especially in regions where dermatological expertise is scarce.
