may have additional considerations that influence their decision to choose between telehealth or in-person visits for treating their dermatological condition. For example, pruritic or visually bothersome lesions may motivate patients and their families to seek face-to-face care in hopes of receiving more hands-on treatment or reassurance from their pediatric dermatologist.11 Further work is needed to understand the social and emotional factors influencing a patient’s decision to elect for telehealth over in-person visits.
