Skin Concerns
Telecare consultations can provide evaluation for dry skin, rashes, and dermatological issues when appropriate for virtual care.
Dermatological Evaluation
Skin concerns such as dry skin and rashes can affect comfort and daily life. Telecare evaluation may help assess symptoms through visual review when possible, discuss treatment options, and determine appropriate next steps when virtual consultation is clinically suitable.
When Telecare May Be Appropriate
Telecare may be suitable for skin concerns when the condition can be visually assessed through photos or video, symptoms are stable, and there are no signs of infection or other concerning features requiring immediate in-person evaluation. Our providers assess each situation to determine if virtual consultation is appropriate.
What a Consultation Typically Includes
Symptom Discussion
Review of skin concerns and visual assessment when possible
Medical History Review
Assessment of medical history, medications, and contributing factors
Symptom Assessment
Evaluation of skin condition characteristics and impact
Treatment Discussion
Discussion of treatment options when clinically appropriate
Follow-Up Recommendations
Guidance on next steps or in-person evaluation if needed
Limitations
Telecare may not be appropriate for severe rashes, signs of infection, rapidly spreading conditions, or skin concerns that require biopsy or specialized testing. Some cases may require in-person dermatological evaluation.
Your provider will assess whether telecare is appropriate for your specific situation and may recommend in-person care or emergency services when necessary.
Safety Note
Seek immediate medical care for severe rashes, signs of infection, rapidly spreading conditions, or skin concerns with fever or other systemic symptoms. Telecare does not replace emergency services.
