    TLDR Public interest in skin conditions in Türkiye changes with the seasons.
    The study analyzed Google search trends in Türkiye from January 2022 to January 2025 to identify seasonal variations in public interest in ten dermatological conditions. Using Turkish-language search terms, the researchers found significant seasonal variations in search trends for conditions such as tinea pedis, skin cancer, pruritus, melasma, hair loss, psoriasis, scabies, and urticaria. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to statistically evaluate these differences, highlighting how public interest in these conditions fluctuates with the seasons.
