What do you wish acne apps or online communities did better?

Hi everyone,

I’m a medical student exploring an idea for a platform that could help people understand and track their acne over time.

The idea is not to diagnose acne, promise a cure, or replace dermatologists. I’m interested in whether personal tracking, clearly organized experiences from other people with similar skin, and evidence-based education could reduce some of the uncertainty and trial and error that comes with acne.

Before developing the idea further, I would really value honest perspectives from people who have experienced acne.

What information or features would genuinely be useful to you? What would make you immediately lose interest or distrust a platform like this? I would especially like to hear from people who have tried tracking or skincare apps and stopped using them.

If anyone would be open to discussing the idea further or sharing their experiences, please comment here or send me a message.

Critical opinions are genuinely welcome. I would rather find out that an idea is weak now than build something people do not need.
