Rachel Day, MD, FAAD, chief medical officer of Zest Dermatology, discusses the uneven distribution of dermatologists in the United States, particularly in Texas where access is limited. Many patients delay care due to busy schedules, prompting the need for services like teledermatology. Day highlights the difficulties parents of small children and working professionals face in accessing immediate care for dermatological issues. Through teledermatology, Zest Dermatology aims to bridge the gap in care by providing high access for immediate treatment. This effort was discussed at the National Psoriasis Foundation’s Take ACTION Philadelphia event by Healio Dermatology Chief Medical Editor Joel M. Gelfand, MD, MSCE.
