Working in a field that involved handling food, drinks and other personal items for customers, he was very conscious of the way people reacted when they noticed the extreme redness, cracking and flaking of his skin.<\/p>\n<p>Previous rounds of oral steroids had helped temporarily, but because these had to be limited, symptoms rarely went away. Dr. Hamidi took a different approach, providing topical medicines, education on flare-prevention skin care and information on other potential therapies. When the patient returned in three weeks, his skin was almost clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, I was happy that I was able to help the patient, but I was shocked that no other doctor had taken the time to educate him on proper skin care to manage his severe case of eczema,\u201d Dr. Hamadi said. \u201cThis reinforced my belief that counseling a patient can make a world of difference and is absolutely worth the extra 10 or 15 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hamidi, who practices in Long Beach, California, appreciates the way teledermatology gives patients better access to skin care, but she also enjoys the ability to collaborate on cases with other doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been a few cases where a lesion was highly suspicious for skin cancer, and without my recommendation for biopsy, diagnosis may have been significantly delayed. This is the number one thing that scares me as a dermatologist and one of the reasons teledermatology is such a great asset to the practice of medicine,\u201d she said.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;bolder&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||30px&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<strong>CREDENTIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Medical Degree \u2013 University of Southern California.<br \/>\nResidency (Dermatology) \u2013 Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.<br \/>\nCertified \u2013 The American Board of Dermatology.<br \/>\nFellow \u2013 American Academy of Dermatology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SPECIAL INTERESTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Psoriasis, acne, skin cancer, dermatologic manifestations of infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;back-to-doctors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#4ebcea&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<a href=\"\/our-doctors\/\">Back to Our Doctors<\/a><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Footer Section&#8221; module_id=&#8221;hero&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#585e5c&#8221; height_tablet=&#8221;485px&#8221; height_phone=&#8221;485px&#8221; height_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||70px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;\/*background: url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/joyce-A012_C007_092210.0003004.jpg); *\/||background:url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/homepage-hero-1-with-overlay.jpg);|| background-repeat: no-repeat !important;|| background-size: cover !important;|| overflow: hidden;||position: relative;&#8221; custom_css_after=&#8221;content: &#8221;;|| display: block;|| position: absolute;|| top: 0;|| left: 0;|| width: 100%;|| height: 100%;|| background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0,0.2);|| z-index: 1;||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Hero slider text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;content cus-top-style&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;70px||0px|&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;position: relative;||z-index: 2;&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Main title&#8221; module_class=&#8221;cus-h1-style&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;30&#8243; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||1rem||false|false&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Dermatology Made Easy<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Subtitle&#8221; module_class=&#8221;cus-p-light&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The answer for in-person and online medical skin care.
