Telehealth is perfectly safe for the diagnoses and situations for which it is best suited. For many common illnesses or symptoms – telehealth can be an ideal medium for doctors to assist patients efficiently and effectively. In other situations, like health emergencies, an in-person visit (or even a visit to the emergency room) is obviously the better choice. If you’re at all worried about a major complication, see your doctor in-person. But for suspected skin conditions, telehealth can be an ideal solution.
