Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions in healthcare settings all over the world. During the lockdown period, teledermatology (TD) played a salient role in helping aggrieved patients receive treatment. Material and Method: The following is a retrospective, observational study carried out over 6 weeks at two centers in which TD consultations during the pandemic were evaluated. Results: A total of 300 patients (male:female = 167:133) with a mean age of 28.34±7.2 years were evaluated. The most common age group was 20–40 years old (40.66%; n = 122). Almost threefifths of the patients (58%; n = 174) consulted for the first time. Noninfectious conditions predominated (62%; n = 186), with eczema and dermatitis (19.3%; n = 57) being the most common, and with dermatophytosis and fungal infections (15.7%) being the most common among the infectious disorders. Conclusions: Because dermatology is a visual branch of medicine, TD has the potential to play a major role in providing dermatological care to a large number of patients in the future.
