Overview
Skin issues are very common while traveling — from sunburns and insect bites to fungal infections, contact dermatitis and small infected wounds. Many can be treated quickly once identified correctly. A video consultation lets the doctor see the affected area and recommend the right care.
Common symptoms
- Red, painful, warm or swollen skin
- Pus, oozing or crusting around a wound or bite
- Itchy rash, blisters or peeling skin
- Fever along with skin changes
When to seek care urgently
- Rapidly spreading redness or pain
- Fever, chills or feeling generally unwell
- Wounds that won't heal or look infected
- A bite from an animal that broke the skin
How we can help
The doctor will look at the area on video, identify the likely cause, and prescribe topical or oral medication as needed (antibiotics, antifungals, corticosteroids). You'll also get clear wound-care instructions.
