We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare viewer engagement, content quality and viewer experience of eczema related medical content on TikTok between health care professionals and non-health care professionals. Compared to non-health care professionals, health care professionals created videos of higher quality and superior viewing experience. Viewer engagement did not differ significantly between videos made by health care professionals and non-health care professionals. Overall, content creators should focus on producing comprehensive, evidence-based videos.
