The following search engines all use different rules, but most of them will return pages that match all the keywords given rather than any. Use multiple words to narrow your search. More words return fewer results. Almost all will accept the * character as a wildcard at the end of a word. Some examples are provided for the tricky combinations:

• The American Academy of Dermatology Patient Information Pamphlets
• Eczema mailing list, FAQ, archives, and the Eczema Informant site
• National Vitiligo Foundation, Vitiligo Info Page and VSIG mailing list
• Psoriatic Arthritis email list archives, and alt.support.arthritis newsgroup
• Rosacea Support Group FAQ mailing list, description, Rosacea Society, and more links
• Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Skin_Disorders categorized websites at DMOZ.org
• Health and Medical search tools at iSleuth.com

The search engine shortcuts are provided as a convenience because they are useful. Any link considered by its owner to be inappropriate will be removed by request (no requests so far). Note that any health information found on the net should be viewed with a critical eye and common sense. Some uncensored postings in the open Usenet newsgroups are quite offensive. Filter accordingly. This is a lay volunteer site run as a self-help resource. Rather than trumpeting any site awards, here is an unfiltered selection of reviews and references from other sites. Please, help yourself.
