title: [Dermatology and the Internet--uses for the clinic and research].
abstract: The Internet is about to become the most important source of information in virtually any academic profession. Dermatology has a growing presence in many areas of the Internet: discussion groups and continuing education programs invite regular participation, dermatologic data in the form of text and images provide support in daily clinical and scientific work. In this paper important sources of dermatologically relevant information on the Internet are given, and the Dermatologic Online Image Atlas (DOIA) which is available on the World Wide Web is introduced.
