This option is designed to provide you with everything you would get from your high street clinics, just without the ‘free’ cup of tea - and at a fraction of the price.
Booking a live consultation with one of our doctors will give you full access to everything that skindoc can offer with 1:1 with your Dermatologist, informational material, personalised clinical letters, a prescription, and extended-hours administrative support.
Please note that a mandatory ID check is required before we can address your problem.
