Online dermatology consultation in the Azores

In the Azores, dermatology is concentrated on a few islands — for many patients, booking means travelling between islands. MyDermaCare sends your case online to a dermatologist in Portugal and returns a report on average within 24 working hours, with no inter-island travel.

Patients supported

Dermatologist in the Azores — does it depend on which island you live on?

The archipelago has 9 islands and hospital care is concentrated in São Miguel (Ponta Delgada) and Terceira (Angra do Heroísmo). For patients on other islands, booking a dermatologist usually means travelling. Online consultation removes that friction — any patient in the archipelago submits their case and receives assessment.

Which consultation is right for me?

Both start with a clinical questionnaire and 3 photographs, without waiting months for an appointment. What differs is how the dermatologist responds.

When you cannot wait or fix a time

Flexible consultation

In writing, no appointment

Choose this if…

  • you cannot guarantee you will be free at a set time;
  • you want to submit your case today, even at night;
  • you prefer to explain your case in writing, at your pace, rather than on a call.

If photographs lack detail, the dermatologist will request another via patient-area messages before responding.

Report in under 24h · from 60 €

Start without booking
When you want to see and hear the doctor

Booked consultation

By video, on the day and time you choose

Choose this if…

  • you want to ask questions and hear answers in real time;
  • you trust a treatment more when you see and hear the doctor who recommends it;
  • you prefer to decide treatment in conversation, not by reading a report.

What it adds is live time: the dermatologist reviews your photographs before the call, so the consultation is for your questions. Afterwards you receive the same written report as the Flexible consultation.

Frequently asked questions — Açores

Common questions about online dermatology consultations.

Yes. It is especially useful on islands with the least medical provision: submit your case from your phone or computer and the dermatologist responds by email, with no inter-island travel.

Yes, when issued. The prescription — when the dermatologist considers it clinically justified — is from the national system and accepted at any pharmacy in Portugal, including on all islands in the archipelago.

You answer a short clinical questionnaire (5 min) and send 3 photographs of the affected area. A dermatologist registered with the Portuguese Medical Association reviews your case and emails a report with a diagnosis or clinical hypotheses and a personalised treatment plan.

From 60€ on the Essential plan (response within 5 working days). There are also Priority (75€, response within 48 working hours) and Urgent (100€, response within 24 hours including weekends). See all details at /precos.

If you have warning signs — active bleeding, a wound that has not healed for more than 3 weeks, or a mole changing very quickly — seek urgent in-person care.
