Expert Skin Care for Cancer Patients, from Anywhere: Supportive Oncodermatology with Tono Health
Cancer treatment is powerful—but the side effects on your skin shouldn’t go untreated.
At Tono Health, we’re proud to launch the nation’s first virtual-first supportive oncodermatology clinic, giving patients fast, expert skin care—no matter where they live.
As a board-certified dermatologist, I’ve seen firsthand how cancer therapies can affect the skin, hair, and nails. These reactions aren’t just cosmetic—they’re clinical. And if left unmanaged, they can lead to pain, infections, and even delays in cancer treatment.
That’s why we built Tono’s supportive dermatology program: to keep patients comfortable during treatment and thriving after.
What Is Supportive Oncodermatology?
Supportive oncodermatology is a specialized field that focuses on managing the skin side effects of cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted treatments like EGFR or BRAF inhibitors.
These powerful therapies can trigger significant skin changes. Without expert dermatologic support, they can disrupt quality of life—and in some cases, interrupt treatment entirely.
Common Skin Conditions We Treat
At Tono Health, we routinely treat cancer-related skin conditions such as:
- Rashes from chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted drugs
- Radiation dermatitis (peeling, redness, or burning)
- Severe dryness, cracking, or itching
- Hair loss (alopecia) and folliculitis
- Nail changes or infections
- Chronic wounds or delayed healing
- Flares of pre-existing skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
Our goal is to reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and help you move confidently through your treatment plan.
Why Virtual-First Supportive Dermatology Matters
Historically, supportive dermatology was only available at a handful of large academic hospitals. But what about everyone else?
Tono Health is the first to make this specialized care available virtually, nationwide.
That means no waitlists. No referrals required. And no long drives just to be told to “moisturize and wait.”
Our patients receive expert dermatology care—within 48 hours, from anywhere.
