    If medication is appropriate, prescriptions are sent to your preferred pharmacy, with delivery options available through Amazon Pharmacy or your preferred mail-order pharmacy. You can ask follow-up questions after your plan is delivered.

    Pharmacy or delivery
What DocBright is great for: visible skin, hair, and nail concerns, including hair loss, rashes, acne, eczema, rosacea, shaving bumps, and ongoing prescriptions. When you need in-person care: rapidly spreading rashes, suspected skin cancer that needs biopsy, or anything we judge to be unsafe to treat remotely. If your condition cannot be properly assessed online, we will tell you and refund your visit fee.
Treatment options

Possible parts of your plan.

Your dermatologist tailors the plan to your history. Not every option below will be appropriate for every patient. A DocBright visit is a medical evaluation, not a guaranteed prescription.

  • Continuation of your current prescription when appropriate
  • Dose, vehicle, or strength adjustments based on how you're doing
  • Pharmacy switch or compounding-pharmacy options
When in-person care is better

Don't stress. If we can't help, we'll refund your visit.

Online dermatology isn't right for every concern. If we can't provide a first-line impression, or your condition isn't suitable for review via DocBright, we'll tell you and refund your visit fee.

  • Anything requiring biopsies
  • Isotretinoin (Accutane) prescriptions and continued treatment: because of the level of management required, isotretinoin cannot be prescribed via DocBright
  • New concerns that are unrelated to your current prescription

Medication costs are separate and may vary by pharmacy, insurance, and prescription. Patients can use insurance for many prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. Prescriptions are typically written for up to 6 months when medically appropriate, though your dermatologist may choose a shorter or longer length. A paid follow-up visit is required at least every 6 months for ongoing prescription treatment.

Good to know

Refill check-ins use the standard $59 visit fee. We'll remind you when your next check-in is due so your prescription doesn't lapse.

FAQ

Questions about prescription refills.

Why do refills require a visit?

Medical review is still required for dermatology prescriptions, even if they're just being refilled. The DocBright check-in is short and doesn't require any video calls. Your dermatologist reviews your progress and history before renewing.

How long can my prescription be written for?

Prescriptions are typically written for up to 6 months when medically appropriate, though your dermatologist may choose a shorter or longer length. A paid follow-up visit is required at least every 6 months to continue treatment.

Which prescriptions can you refill?

Most ongoing dermatology prescriptions, including tretinoin and other retinoids, finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, spironolactone, and doxycycline. Isotretinoin (Accutane) can't be prescribed through DocBright.

Do I need my original prescription?

It helps to send a photo of your current prescription label or bottle so your dermatologist can see the exact medication and strength. They'll review your history and current photos before renewing.

Can my dermatologist change my dose or strength?

Yes, when appropriate. If you're having side effects or not seeing results, mention it in your check-in. Your dermatologist may adjust the dose, strength, or formula.

Whatever it is, let's take a look.

Send your first photos in a few minutes. A board-certified dermatologist will review them and write you a plan, usually before tomorrow.
