Vicki Bradley had been grappling with a mysterious skin condition ever since December of 2024. What started as a small spot on her torso quickly escalated into more patches appearing over the next while. The uncertainty was starting to weigh heavily on her.
She began asking herself, “Could it be something serious, like cancer?”. Questions kept swirling in her mind.
She tried to get in with her dermatologist, but after months of waiting, Vicki still hadn’t been able to secure an appointment. With each passing week, she became increasingly anxious.
In a moment of frustration, Vicki decided to give telemedicine a try and was quickly put at ease by how simple and straightforward the process was. She snapped a few pictures of the spots on her torso and sent them in for review along with a questionnaire regarding her overall health. Within no time, she was referred to a dermatologist online, Dr. Thakur – who took the time to carefully review her symptoms and listen to her concerns.
Dr. Thakur diagnosed Vicki with Granuloma Annulare, a skin condition that causes a raised rash or bumps in a ring pattern steaming from her autoimmune system. The condition, though it sounded intimidating, was not cancerous and was not something to be worried about as it was easily treatable with a topical corticosteroid.
“The process was wonderful,” Vicki said, reflecting on the experience. “I was really worried at first, but the team made me feel 100% comfortable. They took time to explain everything and calmed my nerves, which I really appreciated.” – Vicki Bradley
