Skin check: quick professional help with skin conditions
A telemedicine examination is perfect for classifying skin problems. The santé24 telemedicine service offers SWICA customers skin consultations and treatment recommendations free of charge. If necessary, the doctors at santé24 will ask for a dermatologist's opinion within 48 hours. Prescriptions can be collected at a pharmacy of your choice and billed through SWICA.
SWICA customers can access the BENECURA app and its SymptomCheck feature if they have questions about skin problems or use the app to take photos. The app gives users detailed instructions regarding the best way to take pictures of a skin issue from three different angles. The app also offers the advantage of a secure connection for sending information from SymptomCheck and images to santé24. "If the doctors at santé24 are given high-quality photos, we can often provide a quick and straightforward assessment of the situation with the help of the information provided by the patient," explained Silke Schmitt Oggier, Medical Director at santé24.
In the event of further health-related questions, SWICA customers can contact the santé24 telemedicine service free of charge around the clock on +41 44 404 86 86.
