Acne care online

Online acne treatment for adults in Virginia and West Virginia

QuickVisitMD offers photo-based physician review for acne concerns. The physician can recommend non-controlled topical treatments when clinically appropriate — without an in-office dermatology visit.

What to know

Photo-based acne review with non-controlled treatment options

Mild to moderate acne in adults can often be assessed using clear photos and a focused history. The physician reviews your skin concern, asks follow-up questions, and determines whether a non-controlled topical medication or other treatment approach is appropriate.

Can acne be treated online?

Mild to moderate acne can often be assessed with photos and history. The physician can prescribe non-controlled topical treatments when appropriate. Severe acne or cases needing isotretinoin require in-person dermatology care.

What treatments are available through QuickVisitMD for acne?

The physician may recommend non-controlled topical options such as prescription retinoids, topical antibiotics, or benzoyl peroxide formulations based on the clinical assessment. Controlled medications are not prescribed.

Is this the same as seeing a dermatologist?

No. QuickVisitMD is a focused online physician service, not a dermatology practice. For complex skin conditions, persistent acne, or concerns about scarring, an in-person dermatologist may be a better fit.
