Frequently asked questions
Can an online doctor diagnose a rash?
Some rashes can be assessed by video and photos, but serious, painful, blistering, or unclear rashes may require in-person examination.
What photos should I prepare?
Take one close-up and one wider photo in bright lighting. Avoid filters and include a size reference if helpful.
Can allergy rashes be treated online?
Mild allergy rashes or hives may be suitable, but facial swelling, tongue swelling, wheeze, or breathing difficulty requires urgent care.
Can I get an MC for a rash?
An MC may be issued if the doctor assesses that symptoms, infection risk, or treatment needs make you unfit for work or school.
