“Google Diagnosed You Again? Here’s What It Missed”

“Google Diagnosed You Again? Here’s What It Missed”

Because not every itch is cancer, and not every pimple is deadly.

⸻

You felt a bump on your skin.

You typed on Google:

“Small painful red spot on skin?”

Within 10 seconds, the internet told you:

• Skin cancer?

• Deadly allergy?

• Some rare disease found in South America?

Scared? Confused? We understand.

We see this every day.

Let’s talk honestly — Google isn’t a doctor.

And while it gives you some information, it often misses what really matters.

⸻

👩‍💻 Why Everyone Googles Symptoms?

It’s quick, free, and gives you answers in seconds.

But the problem is… it gives answers without context.

Google doesn’t know:

• Your skin type

• Your age

• Your medical history

• The products you’ve been using

• Your local environment

• Your daily routine

That’s a lot of missing pieces.

🔍 What Google Misses That Doctors Don’t

Here’s what you don’t get with an online search:

What Google Gives	What A Dermatologist Does
List of 10 possible diseases	Zooms in to the 1 that matches your condition
Generic treatment advice	Personalised care for your skin
Fear-inducing articles	Real diagnosis backed by experience
Home remedies from blogs	Medically approved treatments
Same info for all	Custom plan just for you

📌 Real Examples from Our Clinic

✅ Case 1:

A college student came in worried he had skin cancer.

Google said so.

It was just a fungal infection from using sweaty gym towels.

Simple cream. Problem gone.

✅ Case 2:

A lady thought her pigmentation was liver failure.

Turns out, she was reacting to a new cream she bought online.

We stopped the product. Her skin healed.

✅ Case 3:

One patient followed a YouTube hack to treat “acne” with lemon juice.

He ended up with chemical burns.

We treated him – but the marks stayed for weeks.

🧠 Why Google Feeds Fear, Not Facts

Most articles are written to grab attention.

They include words like:

• “Shocking!”

• “Could be dangerous!”

• “Must read now!”

• “Home cure that doctors don’t tell you!”

These are not written by dermatologists.

They’re written for clicks, not care.

🧴 DIY Can Do Damage

We’ve seen people:

• Use toothpaste on pimples

• Apply steroid creams without knowing side effects

• Scrub so hard, they damage their skin barrier

• Take tablets based on a WhatsApp forward

Please… don’t let Google guide your treatment.

⸻

✅ When to Search, When to See a Skin Doctor

It’s okay to Google.

But then cross-check with a professional.

📌 Google is good for:

• General skin care tips

• Learning skincare routines

• Reading about ingredients

• Understanding basic skin terms

❌ But don’t rely on it for:

• Diagnosis

• Serious symptoms

• Skin infections, wounds, or reactions

• Long-term acne or pigmentation

• Deciding which medicine or cream to apply
