When it’s an Urgent Skin Problem you Need Urgent Skin Care

You wake up one morning with a frightening sensation in your arms, which feel like they’re on fire. Sure enough, there’s a bright red rash running along your inner forearms from wrist to elbow. The desire to scratch is overwhelming. What is happening?

Then it dawns on you: Those dead weeds you pulled from the garden yesterday. Crabgrass. Chickweed. Also those dried-up vines…what were they?

Oh, no. Poison Ivy? Poison Oak? Sumac?

At this moment, it doesn’t really matter. The itching is intolerable. The rash? Unsightly. It looks bad.

Some people might try an over-the-counter ointment, which may or may not work.

If temptation wins and you scratch that rash, bacteria under your fingernails may cause an infection.

Are there children around? The oily resin known as urushiol in poisonous plants can be transferred to other people and objects, such as furniture, kitchen counters, really any surface. This can cause a rash if touched by someone else in the household. The oil is just as potent on a dead plant as it is on a live one.

Within a day or two, everyone in the house may have been exposed.

Extreme skin rashes require medical treatment. A dermatologist is best prepared to get you through the discomfort while helping to heal your skin. So, how hard will it be to secure an appointment?

Many dermatologists cannot book an appointment sooner than a week, a month or even longer.

At Walk-in Dermatology, we combine the convenience of urgent care with the same services you expect at any dermatology office. Whether it’s a medical condition of the skin or if you are interested in cosmetic services, we are ready to help.

Did you know the average wait time to see a dermatologist in the United States is 32 days in a large metropolitan area, and as much as 35 days in smaller cities? That’s according to a survey by Merritt Hawkins, a physician recruiting firm. Wait times for a dermatology appointment have increased 46 percent over the last 10 years.

A trip to the emergency room remains an option, but it can be a costly choice.

There is a better alternative.

At Walk-in Dermatology our mission is to revolutionize the approach to skin care, starting with same-day consultations and treatments.

Walk-in Dermatology just opened a new office located at 233 Route 59 in Nanuet, New York, across the street from Staples and Home Depot.

Walk-in Dermatology Nanuet offers convenient access for same-day care, in a newly constructed state-of-the-art medical facility. Finally, residents of Rockland County can receive care on their own schedule.

At Walk-in Dermatology, patients can see a medical provider either by visiting the office or scheduling a virtual consultation with an online video link – you don’t need to leave the house. Walk-in Dermatology also works with most insurance providers. You can even fill out a new patient form and submit it entirely online.

Whatever the condition, from acne to zinc deficiency, we can help you look and feel better. Not next month. Not even next week. Today.
