Is every rash a good fit for online care?
No. Limited photo-review rashes often fit well, but severe swelling, blistering, fever, or sensitive-area involvement should be seen in person.
Why are photos so important?
A photo helps separate a simple low-acuity rash from something more concerning, such as infection, allergic swelling, or a blistering skin process.
