Who can use Skindr?

To use Skindr independently, you must be at least 18 years old. As a parent, you can start a consultation for your child if they are under 18. You can also start a consultation for another family member or someone you are responsible for.

Can I discuss multiple skin concerns during one consultation?

One consultation is intended for one patient and one specific skin concern. During the consultation, the dermatologist reviews everything related to that concern. If you have several separate skin concerns, such as acne and eczema, start a separate consultation for each one. This allows the dermatologist to assess each concern carefully and give it the attention it needs.

‍

What if I need a biopsy or further examination?

Not every skin concern can be fully assessed online. If the dermatologist determines from your photos and information that a skin lesion requires further examination, they will clearly let you know.

You'll then be advised to book an in-person appointment for further examination. Depending on the situation, this may include a biopsy or another type of additional examination.

If a skin lesion is potentially concerning, the dermatologist will advise you to seek further medical assessment within an appropriate timeframe.

How quickly will I receive a response from a dermatologist?

With Skindr, you don't have to wait weeks or months for an appointment with a dermatologist. You start your consultation online and choose how quickly you'd like to receive a response.

Depending on the type of consultation you choose, the following response times apply:

  • ‍Standard (€49): response within 5 working days.
  • ‍Fast help (€59): response within 48 hours, including weekends.
  • ‍Even faster help (€99): response within 24 hours, including weekends.

What if I still need an in-person appointment?

In 95% of cases, the dermatologist can assess your skin concern online based on photos and the information you provide, and offer personalized medical advice. During the assessment, the dermatologist will also determine whether an in-person appointment or further examination is needed.

If your skin concern needs to be examined in person, the dermatologist will let you know and advise you on the next steps. Where possible, Skindr can help refer you for further examination.

Will I receive follow-up for my skin condition?

Yes. Many skin concerns take time and may require further follow-up. Your dermatologist determines how long your consultation remains open and when a paid follow-up consultation may be appropriate.

During a follow-up, the dermatologist can assess how your skin concern is progressing and provide further personalized medical advice. You can upload new photos, share additional information and ask your dermatologist questions.

Can I ask the dermatologist questions? And for how long?

Yes. After receiving your dermatologist's response, you can ask additional questions or share additional information through the chat in the Skindr app.

How long you can continue asking questions depends on the type of consultation you choose:

  • Standard (€49): up to 24 hours after the dermatologist's response.
  • Fast help (€59): up to 3 days after the dermatologist's response.
  • Even faster help (€99): up to 7 days after the dermatologist's response.
    ‍

This gives you the opportunity to ask your dermatologist additional questions directly after receiving your medical advice.
