Online Dermatology Consultation
An online dermatology consultation lets a doctor assess skin, hair, and nail concerns from clear photos or video β often without a long wait.
Not for emergencies. Online consultations are not suitable for medical emergencies. If you have severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, severe bleeding, thoughts of harming yourself, or any life-threatening symptom, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
What is online dermatology care?
Dermatology deals with the skin, hair, and nails. Many concerns can be assessed visually, making them well-suited to telemedicine. A clinician can offer general guidance, suggest treatments, and advise when an in-person examination, biopsy, or urgent review is needed β for example for changing moles or skin lesions.
