More than 60% of Australians say they suffer from a skin condition, however almost 30% say they have never seen a dermatologist and do not plan to, a new survey has found.
The Skin Hospital commissioned Pureprofile to survey more than 1000 Australians last month about skin conditions.
The survey also found as many as 84% of Australians said that skin conditions could have a negative effect on individuals, mentally and emotionally. And 48% admitted that having a visible skin condition would deter them from doing some of their everyday activities.
