It can be difficult to find a suitable dermatologist near you in your area, or the waiting list may be very long, and you need help now. While online dermatologists have been gaining popularity over the past few years, not a lot of people know what an online dermatology consultation can actually help with and which one to choose.

Online dermatology consultation

When it comes to finding a virtual dermatology service, it’s important to choose the one that best suits your needs. This helps ensure you receive the best possible treatment.

There are 13 online dermatology clinics and services listed in this article, each providing a different level of service. To help you decide which one is best for you, we have broken our list into three categories:

  • Online dermatology services 
  • Online acne consultations 
  • Telemedicine for primary healthcare and dermatology

Please note that a doctor-patient relationship is not created in some of these services, which means there are some limitations compared to seeing a traditional dermatology clinic or using a virtual dermatology service that establishes a doctor-patient relationship.

MIISKIN PRO PROMO

HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for dermatologists

online triage service miiskin pro

Miiskin PRO is a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for dermatology that allows patients to book virtual or in-person consultations with a  local dermatology clinic via the Miiskin app.

Patients send photos of their skin conditions and fill in clinical questionnaires that include their symptoms and other patient-reported data. 

Dermatologists can review all of their patients’ requests, prioritize those who can be treated virtually, call in the patients who need an urgent in-person consultation, and conduct virtual prescription refills visits. This saves time for patients and doctors.

If you would like your dermatologist to offer this service at their clinic, please send us an email at contact@miiskin.com with the name of your dermatology clinic, and we will try to get them onboard to the Miiskin PRO platform.
