A dermatologist treats conditions of the skin, hair and nails (acne, eczema, psoriasis, infections and hair loss) and screens moles for skin cancer. Any mole that changes shape, color or size should be checked without delay.
For persistent acne, an itchy or spreading rash, a changing mole, sudden hair loss, or any skin lesion that doesn't heal within a few weeks.
Often, yes. Doctera shows each dermatologist's real-time calendar, so you can spot the earliest opening and book a same-day or next-day visit when a slot is free. For a rapidly spreading rash or a severe reaction, seek urgent care.
Fees vary by doctor, city and type of visit. There is no single fixed price. Each dermatologist profile on Doctera shows the consultation fee upfront when the doctor publishes it, so you can compare doctors and book in person or by video.
