Dear friends and amazing patients,
With shelter-in-place orders from top health officials until end of April, it is very important that we stay at home as much as possible to curb the spread of COVID-19.
We would like to remind you that certain skin conditions can be rescued by prescription medications and diagnosed from the comfort of your own home. More importantly, there are skin conditions that do not seem urgent at the beginning, but can develop into an emergency situation rather quickly if left untreated.
Here are the TOP 5 rashes that you should not ignore and call your dermatologist ASAP
:
Shingles
Abscess
Drug rash
Poison ivy
Hives
Let us know if we can help, and email us any future topics you’d like to hear more about !
Virtual visits are available by emailing dsb.hamzavi@gmail.com

Please stay home, stay healthy, and be safe!
