Telehealth derm services really need to do better

I know this has probably been said before but Im saying it again because its still bad. Ive tried a few online derm services and the experience is always the same, generic form, 2 photos, prescription in your inbox next day done. No one looked at my routine no one asked what products I'm using or if the prescription would even work alongside them one of them prescribed me something that straight up conflicted with an active I use every night and i found that out the hard way after my skin freaked out for 2 weeks the only decent experience I had was through an app iIwas already using for skin tracking, the derm had context, my photos over time, my products my sensitivities. after approval I got real guidance on what to adjust and what to avoid mixing. It felt like an actual consultation not just a checkout process for the money these services charge i feel like the bare minimum should be looking at what someone is already doing before adding a prescription on top of it. idk maybe my expectations are too high but it seems pretty basic
