When most people picture dermatology, they imagine long wait times, a rushed appointment, and limited access. What many don’t realize is that Dermatology Nurse Practitioners are delivering high-quality, evidence-based care and dramatically expanding access to the people who need it most.
Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioners Avery Dinallo and Sylvana Brickley have been increasing access to needed dermatological care across the country since 2017, and are now expanding that care virtually.
What Is a Dermatology NP
A Dermatology NP is a board-certified nurse practitioner with advanced training in diagnosing, treating, and managing skin, hair, and nail diseases. Many earn the DCNP credential, as Avery and Sylvana have done.
Derm NPs can
• Diagnose and manage dermatologic conditions
• Prescribe medications
• Perform procedures
• Manage chronic conditions
• Provide education
• Collaborate with dermatologists
Why Dermatology Access Is a Growing Crisis
Wait times often reach 3 to 6 months, and many rural counties have no dermatology providers at all. Barriers include workforce shortages, high demand, limited insurance access, and transportation issues.
How Dermatology NPs Close the Gap
1. Reduce wait times
2. Provide comprehensive follow-up
3. Expand access in underserved areas
4. Offer convenient telehealth
Why We Built Allme Health
Allme was built to make dermatology accessible, personalized, and rooted in evidence, not waitlists or trends. Two care pathways support this mission:
Allme 90-Day Acne Reset
A comprehensive dermatology program offering full evaluation, personalized skincare, prescription options, trigger support, follow-up, and long-term management.
Allme Express
A streamlined visit for patients who know what they need: spironolactone, tretinoin, doxycycline, specific rosacea medications, or refills.
Conditions Derm NPs Commonly Treat
Acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, hives, fungal infections, alopecia, pediatric concerns, sun damage, moles, cysts, and benign lesions.
Why NP-Led Care Works
Research shows strong outcomes, high satisfaction, excellent education, and significantly improved access.
The bottom line: Dermatology NPs are a primary access point. Expert care matters, and everyone deserves it.
