How This Works

What can be cared for virtually?

DermCafé CAN'T safely provide virtual care for:

  • Inadequately captured on photo:

    • Mole/skin cancer/pigmented lesion concerns

    • Concerns inside the mouth

    • Concerns in the anal/genital region

    • Concerns on the scalp

    • Total or regional body skin checks

    • Rarer, scarring types of hair loss

  • Requires in-person care from the onset:

    • Widespread/complex rashes

    • Wounds

    • Procedural care (e.g. skin cancer removals)

  • Medical emergencies

  • Prescription for controlled substances

 

These concerns require in-person care at physical Dermatologist offices
