Why Teledermatology Matters

Skin conditions are among the most common reasons patients seek care — yet access to dermatologists is limited, especially in rural and underserved communities. Long wait times, travel barriers, and rising demand create delays in diagnosis and treatment.

Teledermatology closes this gap by allowing primary care providers to capture images of skin lesions, rashes, or other conditions and send them to board-certified dermatologists through secure eConsults. In most cases, patients receive guidance within days — without needing an in-person referral.

Benefits of teledermatology include:

  • Faster access to specialty expertise (often within 48 hours)
  • Reduced travel and wait times for patients
  • Better support for primary care providers in managing dermatologic conditions
  • Cost savings through fewer unnecessary in-person referrals
  • Improved quality of care and patient satisfaction
