APDerm at MIT Health is a service available exclusively to MIT Health patients. Individuals covered by any MIT-sponsored health insurance plan are eligible to be seen by APDerm at MIT Health for symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions.

Overview

APDerm at MIT Health treats symptomatic, acute, and chronic skin conditions. 


We provide medically necessary care for skin conditions that cannot be evaluated and treated by your primary care provider. We do not perform cosmetic or elective dermatology consults and procedures, and we do not treat patients with hair loss (except for hair loss due to alopecia areata). 

You can use the MIT Health Laboratory for lab tests ordered by APDerm, but you cannot book those lab appointments online. Instead, bring your paper order from APDerm with you to the laboratory service front desk check-in area on the first floor. Once you have checked in, you will be seen as quickly as possible.
