When Should You Seek Professional

Care for a Skin Concern?

Many common skin concerns can be evaluated online, but some symptoms need an in-person examination, testing, or urgent care. A licensed provider can help determine the safest next step.

• • Persistent or worsening acne that does not improve with over-the-counter treatments.
• • Eczema flare-ups that cause persistent itching, dryness, irritation, or discomfort.
• • Rosacea with persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, or recurring flare-ups.
• • Skin infections that are painful, rapidly spreading, swollen, warm, draining pus, accompanied by fever, or located near the eyes may require urgent in-person care.
• • Psoriasis plaques that are painful, spreading, worsening, or affecting your daily activities.
• • Recurring hives, dermatitis, or fungal infections that do not improve with appropriate home care.
• • Hair loss or scalp conditions causing noticeable thinning, persistent itching, or scalp irritation.
• • Persistent dandruff or scalp flaking that causes itching, irritation, or discomfort.
• • • A new or changing mole, a nonhealing sore, or a lesion that bleeds or looks suspicious should be assessed in person and may require biopsy.
• • Seek urgent or emergency care for a rapidly spreading or blistering rash, skin peeling, trouble breathing, facial or throat swelling, or a rash with severe illness, eye involvement, or mouth sores.
