Rash diagnosis & skin care via photo
Skin conditions are uniquely suited to telemedicine — a high-quality photo tells the providers on the platform what they need to know. Get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan without leaving home.
Skin conditions we diagnose & treat
Allergic reactions to plants (poison ivy/oak), metals, cosmetics, or detergents. We prescribe antihistamines and topical or oral steroids based on severity.
Chronic inflammatory skin condition causing dry, itchy, inflamed skin. We manage flares with prescription topical steroids and long-term management strategies.
Autoimmune skin condition causing red, scaly patches. We prescribe topical treatments and coordinate dermatology referrals for systemic cases.
Raised, itchy welts from allergic reactions or unknown triggers. Antihistamines and short-course steroids prescribed to provide rapid relief.
Painful blistering rash from reactivated chickenpox virus. Early antiviral treatment (within 72 hours) dramatically reduces severity and complications.
Highly contagious bacterial skin infection causing crusty sores, common in children. Antibiotic treatment prescribed promptly to prevent spread.
Fungal infections of the skin, scalp, or nails. Antifungal prescription creams or oral medications based on the affected area and severity.
Minor cuts, abrasions, and wound infection assessment. We determine if in-person care is needed or provide home care instructions and antibiotics if infected.
Rashes & skin condition treatment online
Many common skin conditions — contact dermatitis, eczema flares, fungal infections, mild bacterial infections, hives — can be diagnosed via video evaluation and high-quality photos. The FirstCall platform connects you with an independent, board-certified physician for evaluation and, when clinically appropriate, a prescription (topical or oral) sent to a pharmacy of your choice. New or rapidly spreading rash, lesions with systemic symptoms, or suspected skin cancer warrant in-person dermatology evaluation.
