Q It's hard to come in often because of work. Is a remote consultation possible?
A If your symptoms are stable, you can begin the intake and consultation remotely. However, accurate pattern diagnosis and herbal prescription require an in-person visit, and if there is a hard, swollen boil or pain and fever, we recommend an in-person visit first.
Detailed Answer
If your skin condition is relatively stable, we can start a basic consultation remotely by hearing about the nature of your folliculitis and your lifestyle patterns. Understanding your condition in advance before the first visit can save time. However, since some aspects require direct examination such as tongue and pulse diagnosis, an in-person visit is recommended for accurate pattern diagnosis and prescription.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If it grows into a hard boil, or is accompanied by pain and fever with redness spreading quickly, it is safer to be accurately evaluated through an in-person visit before it worsens into conditions such as cellulitis. It is advisable to continue Korean medicine treatment after the condition has been confirmed.
