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.

Not the right setting

Severe cystic or nodular acne that may need isotretinoin (a controlled medication) or in-person dermatology care

Skin concerns that may not be acne and need biopsy or in-person evaluation to diagnose

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.
