WHY TELEHEALTH DERMATOLOGY

Access to dermatology care is getting more difficult.

We're doing something about it.

The average wait to see a dermatologist in the U.S. is one to three months — longer in rural areas. For anyone dealing with a chronic skin condition or a concern affecting daily life, that wait means worsening symptoms, self-treatment guesswork, and damage that early prescription care could have prevented.

Honeydew closes that gap. Same-day virtual consultations, board-certified providers, and prescription treatments starting at your first visit. No waiting rooms, no referrals, no insurance required.

We treat a broad range of skin, hair, and nail conditions online, including:

  • Chronic skin conditions: Acne, eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis (including plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis), and rosacea.

  • Inflammatory & reactive conditions: Seborrheic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, contact dermatitis, folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, and hives.

  • Pigmentation & texture: Hyperpigmentation, melasma, PIH, dark spots, and tinea versicolor.

  • Hair & scalp: Hair loss, scalp psoriasis, and scalp folliculitis.

  • Nail conditions: Nail psoriasis and fungal nail infections.

Treating something not listed? Our providers evaluate a wide range of dermatological concerns — your first consultation is always free.

I’ve struggled with acne for over 10 years

I’ve struggled with acne for over 10 years, and nothing has worked quite like Accutane. Since starting my treatment with Honeydew, I’ve seen a dramatic transformation in my skin—and it’s only been a short time! Being away at school, I really appreciated how convenient and supportive the process was. Honeydew made everything so easy. I finally feel confident in my skin again, and I can’t recommend it enough!

GET STARTED

What is teledermatology, and how does it work?

Teledermatology is the practice of delivering dermatological care — diagnosis, treatment planning, prescriptions, and ongoing monitoring — remotely, using secure digital technology. Instead of visiting an office in person, patients complete an online medical intake, upload clear photos of their skin concern, and are evaluated by a licensed dermatology provider who reviews their case and responds with a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. Prescriptions, if appropriate, are sent directly to the patient's pharmacy or shipped to their door. Teledermatology has been validated in peer-reviewed research as producing outcomes equivalent to in-person care for the vast majority of common and chronic skin conditions — including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

What is online dermatology, and is it the same as teledermatology?

Yes, "online dermatology," "teledermatology," and "virtual dermatology" all refer to the same model of care: dermatological evaluation and treatment delivered remotely through secure digital platforms rather than in-person office visits. The term "teledermatology" is the clinical designation; "online dermatology" and "virtual dermatologist" are the more commonly searched consumer terms. Honeydew is a teledermatology platform. Our licensed, board-certified dermatology providers evaluate skin, hair, and nail conditions entirely online, prescribe appropriate treatments, and manage ongoing care through a secure digital interface.

Can a dermatologist really diagnose and treat skin conditions online?

Yes. Dermatology is one of the medical specialties best suited to telehealth precisely because it is a visual discipline. Diagnosis is primarily based on how a condition looks — the morphology, distribution, color, and texture of skin changes — all of which can be captured accurately in high-quality photos. Research on teledermatology's diagnostic accuracy shows strong concordance with in-person diagnoses for most common skin conditions. For conditions that require a biopsy, lab test, or physical procedure (such as cryotherapy), an in-person referral is needed — but the majority of patients seeking care for chronic skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation can be fully evaluated and treated online.

Is online dermatology as effective as seeing a dermatologist in person?

For most chronic and common skin conditions, yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies comparing teledermatology to in-person dermatology have found equivalent treatment outcomes, equivalent patient satisfaction, and equivalent diagnostic accuracy. The same prescription-strength treatments available through traditional dermatology offices — isotretinoin, biologic injections, topical retinoids, systemic antibiotics, and more — are all available through Honeydew's licensed providers. For patients who would otherwise wait three to six months for an in-person appointment, teledermatology doesn't just match in-person care — it delivers that care significantly faster, which directly improves outcomes for conditions that worsen with delay.

How long does it take to see a dermatologist in person?

In most parts of the U.S., the average wait time to see an in-person dermatologist as a new patient is one to three months. In major cities with high demand — like Boston, New York, and Los Angeles — waits of four to eight months are not uncommon. In rural areas, patients may need to travel hours to reach the nearest dermatologist, and wait times can be even longer. This shortage is driven by a combination of factors: the dermatologist workforce is aging and not being replaced fast enough, demand for dermatological care is rising, and the growing use of dermatologist time for cosmetic procedures is reducing availability for medical care. For patients with conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne that worsen without treatment, a three-to-six-month wait is not just inconvenient — it can result in preventable scarring, spread, or disease progression.

How quickly can I see a dermatologist through Honeydew?

In most cases, same day. You complete your medical intake and upload photos of your skin concern, and a licensed Honeydew provider reviews your case and responds with a diagnosis and treatment plan — typically within hours, and always within 24 hours. Video consultations, when needed, are available within 48 hours. For patients who have been waiting weeks or months for an in-person appointment, or who simply don't want to take time off work to sit in a waiting room, same-day teledermatology care is often a complete solution — not a workaround.

What if my dermatologist isn't accepting new patients?

This is one of the most common frustrations in dermatology today — and one of the clearest reasons telehealth exists. When your local dermatologist has a three-month wait or has closed their books to new patients entirely, Honeydew provides immediate access to board-certified dermatology providers licensed in your state. Our providers are accepting new patients now, and because our model is entirely virtual, there's no physical capacity limit. You can start your first consultation today.

What skin conditions can be treated online?

The majority of common and chronic skin conditions can be safely and effectively evaluated and treated through teledermatology. Honeydew providers regularly treat acne (including cystic, hormonal, and adult acne), eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis (including plaque psoriasis, scalp psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis), rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, contact dermatitis, folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, hyperpigmentation and melasma, tinea versicolor, hives (urticaria), and nail psoriasis. Hair and scalp conditions — including hair loss (alopecia) and scalp conditions — are also treated. Conditions that require a physical biopsy, procedure, or in-person laboratory test will require referral to an in-person provider, which your Honeydew provider will communicate clearly if needed.

Can online dermatology treat hair loss?

Yes. Hair loss — including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss), telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata — can be evaluated and treated through Honeydew. Your provider will assess your hair loss pattern, history, and any contributing factors through your intake photos and questionnaire. Treatment options include prescription oral or topical minoxidil, finasteride for eligible patients, and other systemic therapies depending on the cause and severity of your hair loss. If your case requires scalp biopsy or blood work to rule out an underlying condition, your provider will coordinate accordingly.

Can seborrheic dermatitis be treated online?

Yes. Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the most common conditions we see — it causes flaky, greasy scaling on the scalp, face (particularly around the nose, eyebrows, and ears), and sometimes the chest. It's frequently misdiagnosed as psoriasis or dandruff, and it responds very differently to treatment than either of those conditions. Honeydew providers can evaluate and treat seborrheic dermatitis online using prescription-strength medicated shampoos, antifungal creams, and low-potency topical steroids, depending on where it appears and its severity.

Can hyperpigmentation and dark spots be treated online?

Yes. Hyperpigmentation — including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, and sun-related dark spots — is one of the most commonly searched skin concerns and is very effectively managed through telehealth. Prescription-strength treatments like tretinoin, azelaic acid, and combination compounds are all available through Honeydew. Your provider will evaluate your skin tone, the pattern and depth of your pigmentation, and any underlying causes to build a plan that's appropriate for your skin — not a generic brightening routine.

Can perioral dermatitis be treated online?

Yes. Perioral dermatitis is a common inflammatory condition that causes small red bumps and pustules around the mouth, nose, and sometimes eyes. It's frequently mistaken for acne or rosacea and often worsened by the treatments patients try before getting the right diagnosis — particularly topical steroids, which are one of the primary triggers. Honeydew providers can evaluate perioral dermatitis through photos and prescribe appropriate treatments, which typically include oral antibiotics and gentle topical therapies, alongside guidance on avoiding the common triggers that prolong it.

Can I get a prescription from an online dermatologist?

Yes. Honeydew providers are licensed, board-certified dermatology practitioners with full prescribing authority in all 50 states. If your condition is appropriate for prescription treatment — and most chronic skin conditions are — your provider will prescribe the right medication and send it to your preferred pharmacy or arrange delivery to your door. There is no limitation on the types of prescription treatments available through Honeydew — from standard topicals to oral medications to biologic injections, the same treatments available in a traditional dermatology office are available here.

Can I get tretinoin prescribed online?

Yes. Tretinoin is one of the most prescribed treatments through Honeydew — and one of the most searched specific prescription terms in telehealth dermatology. It's a topical retinoid that addresses acne, skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and early signs of aging, and it's only available by prescription. Your Honeydew provider can prescribe tretinoin at the right concentration for your skin concern and history, with guidance on how to introduce it to minimize the initial adjustment period. Your prescription will be sent to your local pharmacy or delivered to your door.

Can online dermatologists prescribe biologic treatments?

Yes. Honeydew providers can prescribe biologic medications for moderate-to-severe eczema and psoriasis entirely online. This includes Dupixent (dupilumab), Adbry (tralokinumab), and Ebglyss (lebrikizumab) for eczema, and Skyrizi (risankizumab) and Tremfya (guselkumab) for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Biologics require a full clinical evaluation and prior authorization coordination with your insurance, which our care team handles on your behalf. For patients who have been waiting for in-person dermatology care to access these treatments, online prescribing can significantly accelerate the path to starting.

Are custom-compounded prescription treatments available online?

Yes. Honeydew providers can prescribe custom-compounded formulas — combinations of active ingredients in concentrations or delivery formats not available in standard commercial products. Custom compounds are commonly used for complex acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and hair loss, where a tailored combination of ingredients outperforms any single standard product. Compounded prescriptions are prepared by licensed pharmacies and shipped directly to your door.

How much does an online dermatologist cost?

Honeydew's basic membership starts at $25 per month (billed annually), which covers unlimited provider access, prescription coordination, and ongoing follow-up care — with no co-pays and no per-visit fees. Your first consultation is free. Medications are prescribed to outside pharmacies and billed separately; if you have insurance, we'll work with it to reduce your medication costs. If you don't, we'll help you find the best available pricing through discount programs. All membership costs are HSA/FSA eligible. By comparison, a single in-person dermatology visit typically costs $150–$300 without insurance — before factoring in the cost of getting there, taking time off, and paying for follow-up visits separately.

Can I see an online dermatologist without insurance?

Yes. Honeydew is specifically designed to be accessible without insurance. Our membership uses flat-rate, transparent pricing — you know exactly what you're paying before you start, with no surprise bills, no referral requirements, and no insurance approval needed for your consultation or ongoing care. If you have insurance, we'll submit your prescriptions to help reduce medication costs. If you don't, we'll find the most affordable pharmacy options available, including manufacturer savings programs for higher-cost treatments like biologics. No insurance should never mean no access to dermatology care.

Is Honeydew membership HSA or FSA eligible?

Yes. Honeydew membership fees are eligible for reimbursement through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This makes it possible to pay for your dermatology care with pre-tax dollars, reducing the effective cost of your membership further. If you have an HSA or FSA, you can use your card directly at checkout or submit your Honeydew receipts for reimbursement.

Does Honeydew accept insurance for dermatology visits?

Honeydew's membership fee operates outside of insurance — you pay a flat monthly or annual rate that covers all consultations and care coordination, without billing insurance for those visits. However, your prescriptions are submitted to your insurance to help reduce medication costs wherever possible, and our care team assists with prior authorizations for higher-cost treatments like biologics. Membership costs are HSA/FSA eligible. If you have insurance coverage that you'd like to use for your dermatology care, contact our team at info@honeydewcare.com and we can walk through what your specific plan may cover.

Are Honeydew providers real, board-certified dermatologists?

Yes. All Honeydew providers are licensed, board-certified dermatology practitioners — meaning they have completed medical school, residency training in dermatology, and passed board certification examinations. They are licensed to practice in the states where they see patients and are held to the same professional and clinical standards as in-person dermatologists. "Board-certified" is a meaningful credential — it distinguishes providers who have completed the full pathway of dermatology training from general practitioners who may see skin concerns as part of broader primary care.

Is online dermatology legitimate and safe?

Yes. Teledermatology is a well-established, evidence-based model of care that has been studied for over two decades and validated across numerous clinical settings. It is widely recognized by major medical organizations including the American Academy of Dermatology. Honeydew is a LegitScript-certified platform — LegitScript certification is a healthcare compliance standard that verifies telehealth providers operate legally, prescribe responsibly, and meet patient safety requirements. Our providers are licensed in all 50 states, our platform is HIPAA-compliant, and your medical information and photos are fully encrypted and protected.

How do I get started with online dermatology care?

Getting started with Honeydew takes about ten minutes. You'll create an account, complete a medical intake questionnaire about your skin concern and health history, and upload clear photos of the affected area. In many cases, a video consultation isn't required — your provider can review your intake and photos and respond with a diagnosis and treatment plan directly. If a video visit would help, you can book one within 48 hours. Your first consultation is free, and prescriptions, if appropriate, are sent to your pharmacy or delivered to your door at your first visit.

What kinds of photos do I need to upload for my dermatology consultation?

Clear, well-lit photos taken in natural or bright indoor light are ideal. You'll want to capture the affected area close up and from a slight distance to show context — for example, a close-up of a patch of eczema and a wider shot showing where on your body it appears. For acne, photos of all affected areas (face, back, chest) give your provider the full picture. For redness or discoloration, taking photos without makeup and in natural light produces the most accurate color representation. Your intake process will guide you through what's most useful for your specific concern.

What happens after I submit my intake?

After you submit your intake and photos, a licensed Honeydew provider reviews your case — typically within a few hours, and always within 24 hours. They'll provide you with a diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan, and any prescriptions appropriate for your condition. Prescriptions are sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy or arranged for delivery. You'll then have access to your Honeydew Care Team for unlimited follow-up — whether you have questions about your treatment, want to share a progress photo, need a refill, or need your plan adjusted as your skin changes.

What if I need in-person care or a procedure?

Honeydew providers will clearly communicate if your condition requires an in-person evaluation, biopsy, or procedure that can't be performed through telehealth — such as skin cancer screening, a suspicious lesion requiring biopsy, or a procedure like cryotherapy. In those cases, your provider will advise you on what's needed and can help guide you toward the appropriate in-person referral. For the large majority of patients seeking care for chronic skin conditions, online dermatology is a complete solution — not a first step toward an in-person visit.

Is Honeydew available in my state?

Yes. Honeydew has licensed dermatology providers in all 50 U.S. states. Regardless of where you live — whether you're in a major city, a suburban area, or a rural region with limited access to in-person dermatologists — you can access Honeydew's providers. There are no geographic restrictions on your eligibility to receive care.
