Possible treatment options
Treatment options may include prescription or nonprescription therapies when clinically appropriate. Your provider will determine whether a treatment is safe and appropriate after reviewing your health history and completing a clinical evaluation. Prescriptions are never guaranteed.
Options may include topical or other therapies when clinically appropriate, focused on managing flares and ongoing care.
When laboratory testing or in-person care may be needed
Some concerns may require laboratory testing, imaging, an in-person examination, or referral to a specialist. Your provider will advise you if your situation is not appropriate for virtual care.
Widespread involvement, joint pain, or uncertainty about the diagnosis may require in-person evaluation.
