This study aimed to determine teledermatology (TD) utilization trends during the COVID-19 pandemic using national and institutional data. Analysis of national (American Academy of Dermatology's DataDerm registry) and institutional (Duke University Health Systems) data revealed that females, younger patients, non-white races, and out-of-state patients showed higher TD utilization. These differential trends suggest TD may benefit marginalized populations and should inform future healthcare models.
