Posting guideline

No diagnosis requests. Focus on the mechanism, not on whether something is happening to a specific person's skin.

Example questions for this category

  • Why does barrier irritation cause stinging?
  • How are sebum and inflammation connected?
  • Why can seborrheic dermatitis affect the scalp and face?

Discussion is opening soon

We are bootstrapping moderation and the post composer with the templates the spec describes (mechanism tags, evidence levels, source-required toggles for research posts). Until then, you can explore the existing mechanism, ingredient, and research pages and save useful insights into your learning journal.
