However, it is unknown if the use of social media and photo-editing applications by young adults has an association with seeking dermatologic care. OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of photo-editing among a cohort of young adults using Instagram and the association with seeking dermatologic care. METHODS A population-based survey was administered to undergraduate students from April 2019 to May 2019 through an online platform. RESULTS Of the 257 responses, 228 (88.7%) reported that they edited a photo prior to posting on Instagram. Of those who reported editing a photo, 145 (63.6%) edited a skin lesion, 104 (45.6%) whitened teeth, and 70 (30.7%) altered the size of their body. Of those who edited skin lesions, 128 (88.3%) edited acne/acne scars. Those who felt the editing made them more aware of their skin lesions were significantly more likely to feel they needed to see a dermatologist (p=0.02, 95% CI). CONCLUSION Photo-editing is common among young adults using Instagram, especially in individuals with acne/acne scars. The effect of this behavior may be a motivating factor for individuals seeking dermatologic care. This article is protected by copyright.

This β -alkylation of secondary methyl carbinols with primary alcohols has significant advantage of delivering higher-order secondary alcohols in an economical, redox-neutral fashion. In addition, the first enantioselective Guerbet reaction has also been achieved using a commercially available chiral ruthenium complex to deliver secondary alcohols with moderate yield and up to 92% ee. In both reactions, the use of a traceless ketone promoter proved to be beneficial for the catalytic efficiency. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
