Telemedicine has become more popular for providing remote healthcare, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, and may serve as an alternative for routine visits for patients with chronic skin conditions.
A systematic review of 11 studies (including RCTs) indicates that telemedicine appears to be comparable to in-person consultations for managing chronic inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, particularly regarding patient quality of life.
Despite encouraging results about telemedicine's benefits, such as cost-effectiveness and convenience, further extensive research is needed to solidify these findings and address any uncertainties.
