This is why we see many children at Direct<strong>Derm<\/strong>,\u201d says Dr. Wong, who treats patients of all ages.<br \/> To prevent or detect serious conditions like melanoma, Dr. Wong urges parents to put hats, protective clothing, and broad-spectrum sunscreen on their children every day and to scan their entire skin once a month for anything that looks unusual.<\/p>\n<p>He has seen firsthand the positive impact of teledermatology on people\u2019s lives. Instead of being placed on a six-month waitlist to see a dermatologist in his hometown, a 6-year-old boy was quickly evaluated and diagnosed by Direct<strong>Derm<\/strong>. His condition was serious, requiring a biopsy and immediate treatment. Even at his young age, it\u2019s likely that his life would have been shortened if not for teledermatology and the resulting early diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no feeling like that of knowing you\u2019ve made a difference in the life of someone who otherwise would have had delayed care or had none at all,\u201d Dr. Wong says.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221;
