Telehealth has definitely made it easier. So, during COVID, it's actually quite easy to diagnose alopecia areata even just with a video connection, because the lesions are very characteristic and their shape is very characteristic, and so a dermatologist can diagnose them quite easily by telehealth.

There's ways that yeah, Telehealth can really help. Also, for alopecia areata, even though the physical exam is easy, it's also as long as we're checking to the correct labs, it's easy to provide treatment as well.
