If you have discovered an unusual rash on your skin that you have not seen before and that is bothering you, chances are you want to have it checked straightaway, not in a few weeks time. 

Unfortunately, in most cases, securing an appointment with a dermatologist often takes weeks or even months. For patients dealing with bothersome skin conditions that require prompt treatment, this delay causes unnecessary discomfort and anxiety. 

If you are looking for an emergency dermatologist open on weekends for an (urgent) same-day consultation, you have come to the right place. We will explain how you can get dermatology care wherever you are, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

How to get an emergency dermatologist appointment via Miiskin?

Need quick help from a dermatologist? Miiskin connects you with board-certified dermatologists for fast, virtual care. Here’s how it works:

  • Choose one of the online dermatologists listed below. Make sure they are licensed in your state!
  • Complete a short clinical questionnaire.
  • Upload clear photos of your skin concern.

Within 1–2 days, you’ll receive a professional evaluation and, if needed, a prescription.

You can submit an emergency dermatologist consultation anytime — even at night, during weekends, or on public holidays. Although it takes up to 1–2 days for a response, this is significantly faster and more affordable than booking an in-person appointment.

Worried about communication? You can message your dermatologist directly through the platform with any questions, and they’ll respond promptly.

Frequently asked questions about same-day dermatologist appointments

Can I get an emergency dermatologist appointment via Miiskin?

Yes, via Miiskin you can consult independent dermatologists for non-life-threatening emergencies such as skin rashes, viral infections, ringworm, cold sores, scabies, etc. However, if you think your life is in danger, you should call 911.

Is Miiskin a dermatology service open on weekends?

Yes, via Miiskin you can consult independent dermatologists on weekends (both on Saturdays and Sundays too!) However, you need to wait up to two business days to receive an answer. However, most consultations are seen and responded within one business day.

Are these same-day dermatologist via Miiskin cheaper than in-person visits?

Yes, on average in the United States the price for an in-person dermatology visit is estimated at $221 (depending on the state you are and the clinic you visit).

Are these same-day virtual dermatology visits covered by my insurance?

No, you need to pay out of pocket. However, the price is only $59, which is only a little bit more than the copay you need to pay if your visit was covered by the insurance company, which is around $45.

How do these consultations differ from walk-in dermatologists?

With walk-in dermatologists you go to a dermatology clinic near you that takes walk-in appointments (which are very few) and sit in the waiting room for many hours until you are seen by a dermatologist. On the other hand, with urgent dermatology photo-consultations you make the care request and wait 1-2 business days for the doctor to evaluate your case. 

Can I submit an urgent dermatology care request in the middle of the night?

Yes, you can submit a dermatology care request 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. However, it usually takes the doctor 1-2 business days to see and evaluate your case.

Can my urgent care request be reviewed in less than 2 business days?

Yes, in many cases our dermatologist may review your care request in just a few hours, especially during the week, however, since we cannot guarantee this will be the case, you should expect to get an answer from the dermatologist in up to 2 business days from the time you submitted your request.

Will I get a prescription with the doctor’s answer?

The doctor will evaluate your case and if they think you need a prescription they will give it to you. 

Can I use urgent (same-day) dermatologist appointments to renew a prescription?

In most cases yes, you can renew your dermatology prescription with urgent (same-day) dermatologist appointments via the Miiskin app.
