  • A sore or bump on the face that bleeds or does not heal

What an online consult cannot do. The doctor judges from your photos, so blurry or filtered photos limit what they can say. Some rashes need a dermatologist to examine them in person or take a small skin sample; the doctor tells you when.

Booked a consultation for my mother. Doctor actually spent time asking about her previous medicines. That was the main thing I liked.

The doctor consultation felt normal, not rushed like some online consultations. Asked about symptoms properly and explained when I should visit in person.

Questions

Is rosacea the same as acne?
No. Rosacea can have pimples but no blackheads or whiteheads, and it comes with flushing and redness. Many acne products irritate rosacea, so knowing which one it is changes the treatment.
Can rosacea be cured?
No, but it can be controlled well. Most people keep it calm with a gentle routine, daily sunscreen, avoiding their triggers and treatment during flares.
Does rosacea happen in Indian skin?
Yes. It is noticed less often on brown skin because the redness is harder to see, so it may show as warmth, stinging, darker patches or bumps, and it is often mistaken for acne or a steroid cream reaction.
What triggers rosacea?
Common triggers are sun, heat, hot drinks, spicy food, alcohol, exercise and stress. They differ from person to person, and the doctor helps you find yours.
Who will I be speaking to?
Our doctor who leads skin care (MBBS, with fellowships in aesthetic medicine and cosmetic dermatology) answers every skin and hair consult, day or night. There is no MD dermatologist on the panel yet: she tells you when you need to see one in person. Her registration is checked, and every consult follows the NMC Telemedicine Practice Guidelines, 2020.
How much does the online consultation cost?
A chat consultation for this is ₹399, and a call or video is ₹399. The exact fee is shown before you pay, and it includes 48 hours of follow-up questions in the same chat.
How quickly will a doctor reply?
The chat opens as soon as you pay. A doctor usually replies within 30 minutes while doctors are on duty; outside those hours the booking page tells you when the first reply is likely, before you pay. The doctor can switch to a call or video if they need to see you.

About rosacea

Rosacea causes flushing, lasting redness and sometimes small pimples on the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, usually in adults. It is often mistaken for acne or an allergy, and acne treatments and steroid creams can make it worse. It cannot be cured, but it can be kept calm with a gentle routine, sun protection, avoiding triggers and treatment for flares. Send photos and tell us what sets it off. A doctor checks whether it is rosacea and plans how to calm it.
