Dermotologists have busy practices, but it’s not always a “must have” treatment. Mine sent an email offering some form of virtual examination…in my case for a semi annual skin cancer check for suspicious spots. Nothing indicated on how treatment might  be accomplished during pandemic days, but it’s not as if patients are going to start slicing and dicing themselves. AFAIK.

OTOH, perhaps the “freezing of spots” with frozen gas might be something that could be part of a multifunctional medical tool in the home. One thinks perhaps of the multiple features and functions of landers sent to moons and planets. A Swiss army knife of built in capabilities. Some schools in Las Cruces have had virtual Dr machines for some years now, which can do a range of  diagnoses. The next big step forward is robot Doctors/ Nurses that can ‘reach out and perform minor treatments perhaps including minor surgeries, or creation of custom casts on site, and X rays etc.
