Whether you have a rash, a fungal infection or itchy or inflamed skin, you can have your condition assessed quickly and easily by a specialist. santé24 offers SWICA customers free dermatological advice and, whenever possible, a recommended course of treatment. SWICA also works with the OnlineDoctor platform, which SWICA customers can use to ask medical experts to assess their skin problems.

Good to know
Are you concerned about a mole on your skin? If you have any doubt about whether a mole is benign or malignant, you must have it checked out in person by a dermatologist. Even if you are able to provide high-quality photos, a conclusive verdict cannot be given over the phone for legal reasons.
