Online Dermatology & Skin Care Consultation Ireland
Worried about a rash, eczema, acne or a new skin concern? See an IMC-registered Doctor online from the comfort of your home. Expert skin care consultations with prescriptions issued same day — available 7 days a week from €34.99.
Why Online Works Perfectly for Skin Consultations
Unlike many medical conditions, skin problems are inherently visual — making them exceptionally well-suited to online assessment. Your Doctor can see the affected area clearly via your phone camera and make a confident assessment in many cases without needing you in person.
Waiting weeks for a dermatology referral on the HSE or paying hundreds for a private dermatologist is no longer your only option. DoxOnCall gives you fast access to expert skin advice from an IMC-registered Doctor — same day, at a fraction of the cost.
- Skin conditions assessed visually via high-quality video call
- Prescriptions for creams, ointments and antibiotics issued online
- Referrals to dermatologists arranged where needed
- Avoid long HSE dermatology waiting lists
- Available same day, 7 days a week across Ireland
- €34.99 flat fee — no private dermatology costs
💡 Pro Tip: Good Lighting Makes All the Difference
Before your consultation, take a clear photo of the affected skin area in natural daylight. Have it ready to show your doctor on screen during the video call. The better the image, the more accurate the assessment.
