Impact of store-and-forward consumer to physician teledermatology as compared to in-person visits for patients with periorificial dermatitis: A retrospective study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: To the Editor: Periorificial dermatitis is a common, often chronic inflammatory skin condition appearing in the ocular, nasal, and oral facial regions predominately in women.1 Previously, we showed that store-and-forward physician to physician outpatient teledermatology (TD) improves and provides proper diagnoses and treatment/management recommendations aligned with established standard of care.2 This retrospective analysis extends upon our previous study by evaluating the impact of another unique TD modality, store-and-forward consumer to physician TD, on diagnosis and management through a direct comparison with patients seen in-person.
