Why Choose Teleconsultation for Dermatology & Cosmetology?

Teleconsultation is an excellent option for addressing common skin conditions, hair issues, and cosmetic concerns, allowing you to connect with a dermatologist or cosmetologist without the need for an in-person visit. Our specialists can diagnose and treat many conditions remotely, ensuring you get the care you need in a timely and convenient manner.

Conditions We Address via Teleconsultation

Our dermatology teleconsultation services cover a wide range of skin, hair, and cosmetic issues, including:

  1. Acne Treatment

    • Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting individuals of all ages. Through teleconsultation, our dermatologists can evaluate your acne, recommend appropriate medications (such as topical treatments or oral antibiotics), and provide guidance on skincare routines to reduce breakouts and improve skin clarity.
    • For patients with severe acne or those considering treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy, we’ll offer advice on next steps and, if needed, schedule an in-person visit.
  2. Eczema and Psoriasis Management

    • Eczema and psoriasis are chronic skin conditions that can cause discomfort, itching, and irritation. Our teleconsultation services allow us to assess the severity of your symptoms, prescribe treatments such as topical steroids or other medications, and provide advice on managing flare-ups.
    • We’ll work with you to create a personalized care plan that helps you manage these conditions and improves your skin’s health.
  3. Hair Loss (Alopecia)

    • Hair loss or alopecia can be a source of concern for many patients.

Based on your consultation, we’ll recommend treatments like minoxidil, oral medications, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
    • If further testing or in-person treatments like hair transplant procedures are required, we’ll guide you through the process.
  4. Rashes, Infections, and Skin Irritations

    • If you’re experiencing an unexplained rash, infection, or skin irritation, our dermatologists can evaluate your condition via teleconsultation, recommend appropriate treatments, and advise you on next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


1. Q: How often should I have a full-body skin exam?

A: If you are at high risk from having had skin cancer or because you have fair skin or other

predisposing conditions, or if you have had excessive sun exposure, a yearly full-body skin

examination is highly recommended. However, if you become alert to some concerning

changes in your skin, do not wait for the yearly appointment.


2. Q: Will my diet have anything to do with how healthy my skin is?

A: It sure can. Diet offers much support toward having healthy skin. A balanced diet rich in

fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats offers many benefits for skin health. Some

foods, like dairy or high-glycemic foods, may be particularly problematic for some people. Be

sure to bring up any dietary influences you may think could be affecting your skin when

discussing the issues with your dermatologist.


3. Q: What's the difference between a chemical and physical sunblock?

A: Well, the main difference is how they operate: chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays, and

physical or mineral sunscreens reflect UV. The former will rub into the skin much better; the

latter can create a white cast but won't be quite as irritating for sensitive skin. Either type will

do great if it's broad-spectrum SPF and used appropriately.


4. Q: Are all moles potentially malignant?

Ans: Not all moles are malignant, but it's crucial to monitor them for changes. In this case,

apply the rule of ABCDE: look for asymmetry, border irregularities, colour changes, the

diameter increases, and evolution or other changes over time. If you have any such

manifestations, see a dermatologist immediately.


5. Q: Can stress lead to problems with the skin?

A: Yes, it can increase all of these and many more skin problems, besides other conditions,

and can also create flare-ups in chronic skin conditions. It has to do with the fact that one

must learn relaxation techniques, exercise regularly, and get good sleep—all those things

will improve your general health and your skin.
