The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.

Editorial standards

Content on this site is written for patients, reviewed by a named clinician before publication, and dated. Claims that cannot be supported are removed rather than softened. Where a question has no settled answer, the site says so instead of choosing a side for convenience.

Advertising and claims

This site does not present medicines or devices by brand name, does not publish prices or discounts, and does not use countdowns, scarcity or outcome promises. It does not describe any skin treatment as painless, scarless or risk-free, and it does not present a cream, a supplement or a device as a way of removing a scar or replacing lost skin. It is written so that a reasonable reader can decide against treatment after reading it.

Findings routed away from aesthetic care

Where a mole is changing, a lesion will not heal, or a rash comes with fever or joint pain, the site states that this is a medical matter and names the findings that require prompt assessment. That routing takes precedence over any cosmetic content on the page it appears on.

Patient privacy and reporting a concern

No patient photographs, identifying details or case histories are published on this site without documented consent. If you believe something published here is inaccurate, misleading or non-compliant, tell the hospital administration line; corrections that are justified are made and the review date is updated.
