From strolls in Yoctangee Park to the historic downtown of Ohio’s first capital, your life in Chillicothe is rooted in community and character. When skin conditions like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or hidradenitis suppurativa get in the way, you deserve care that’s as local as it is advanced.
AndHealth brings experienced dermatology care right into Chillicothe so you can regain comfort, confidence and active living without leaving your home community.
Many residents of Chillicothe and Ross County live with chronic skin conditions that reach far beyond the surface—affecting sleep, mood, activity and self-esteem. AndHealth’s dermatology team treats psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) with a coordinated, comprehensive, whole person care approach. We focus not only on visible symptoms, but also on the lifestyle triggers, environmental influences and emotional effects that influence your skin health in this region.
AndHealth ensures accessible, coordinated dermatology care in Chillicothe so you receive timely diagnosis, precise treatment and ongoing support—without long travel or wait times. We are in-network with Medicare, Medicaid and most major health plans and will help ensure that you get the lowest possible cost of treatment for your health plan.

The AndHealth team understands that psoriasis is more than flaky red patches. In Chillicothe, cold winters with indoor heating, spring pollen and stress from daily routines may trigger flares. Whether you are dealing with persistent plaques, widespread skin involvement or sleep disruption from symptoms, your care plan is tailored specifically for you. Because psoriasis can also signal systemic inflammation—affecting joints, heart health or metabolism—your plan may include biologic therapies, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, stress-management coaching and dermatologic care.

Eczema is among the most common chronic skin conditions and it brings more than itch and redness. Many locals face flare-ups when indoor heating dries the air, when spring and fall pollen are high or when even hard water and rural dust challenge the skin barrier. Itching, barrier disruption and poor sleep are common, and if left untreated, undermines your daily comfort. AndHealth combines advanced topical or biologic therapies with health coaching on hydration, nutrition, sleep and stress, because eczema is influenced by more than skin.

HS is a chronic, painful skin condition characterised by nodules, abscesses and scarring in areas where skin rubs together. For Chillicothe residents, HS may interfere with comfort, work, social participation or outdoor activities. Because rural or smaller-town settings may mean longer delays in specialist care, having an expert team you can access locally makes a difference. AndHealth addresses HS with leading biologic treatments, wound‐care coordination and lifestyle support around heat, friction, clothing choices and your local environment.

Virtual video visits available for Indiana & Ohio residents
We want you to feel as comfortable in an online appointment as you would in person. Here’s how a virtual appointment works.
You and your doctor will join a video call at a place most convenient to you - at home, work, your car, etc.
Choose somewhere quiet where you can speak freely, and where you have a good internet connection.
Your nearest Community Health Center can also provide a private room with a computer where you can join your appointment (reserved in advance).
Your dermatologist will ask you where you are experiencing symptoms.
They will ask you to show the affected skin on camera to confirm size, shape, location, inflammation and other factors.
If needed, your dermatologist will order blood work to get more information, as they would during an in-person exam.
When you are in a flare, or having a hard day, an online appointment can be much easier to join.
An online appointment saves you time from driving to an office, sitting in a waiting room, and then seeing your provider.
An online appointment should feel as unrushed and thorough as in person.
We want you to always feel that you can ask all of your questions, report on how you've been feeling, and help us create or modify the best treatment plan for you.
Chillicothe’s geography, climate and community rhythms shape the skin-health experiences many residents face. Winters bring cold outdoor air and indoor heating that dries the skin. Summers bring warmth and humidity. Rural dust, outdoor work and seasonal transitions all affect skin barrier health. Your AndHealth dermatology care team will help you build a personalized care plan that incorporates these seasonal factors.
We combine high-level dermatologic treatments (topicals, systemic therapies, biologics) with whole-person supports: clinical pharmacy coordination, nutrition and hydration guidance, sleep and stress coaching and patient navigation. Whether you live downtown Chillicothe, near Yoctangee Park or in a surrounding township, your care is accessible, coordinated and customised. We also partner regionally with local health systems when advanced procedures or in-person labs are needed so you never feel isolated from care.
Chillicothe’s environment influences skin health in distinct ways:
Outdoor nature and reduced urban pollution: Access to parks like Yoctangee and cleaner air in less dense areas may reduce some triggers for inflammation.
Moderate shoulder-seasons: Late spring and early autumn often bring fewer irritants, moderate humidity and calmer conditions for your skin barrier to recover.
Winter dryness. Cold outdoor air plus indoor heating strips moisture and weakens the skin barrier, making eczema and psoriasis flares more likely.
Summer heat and friction. HS symptoms often worsen in warm months when heat, sweat and skin-folds combine—especially during local outdoor or field work.
Seasonal allergens and dust. Spring and fall bring high pollen, farm-road dust and rural airborne irritants that can trigger atopic dermatitis.
Your AndHealth team helps you anticipate and manage these patterns by adjusting treatments proactively, recommending skincare routines and advising lifestyle changes so your skin stays as stable as possible year-round.
Using the national estimate of about 3% of adults, a measurable proportion of adults in Ross County live with psoriasis. Early diagnosis and access to advanced treatment make a meaningful difference in long-term outcomes.
Among the adult population of Chillicothe and Ross County, an estimated 1 in 10 may experience eczema symptoms. Rural exposures, seasonal triggers and limited specialist access mean early intervention matters.
Although HS affects roughly 1% of adults nationally, in smaller or rural areas like Chillicothe it is commonly under-diagnosed or mis-diagnosed. That suggests the actual number of residents might be higher. AndHealth emphasises patient education, early symptom recognition and modern treatment options so you do not have to live with avoidable discomfort and limit your quality of life.
Some rural water systems in Ross County may have mineral content and hardness that challenge the skin barrier and contribute to eczema or psoriasis symptoms.
Rural roads, agricultural equipment, outdoor work and nature access create dust and irritants that can trigger flare-ups in sensitive skin. Working or spending time outdoors increases exposure to friction, sweat and irritants—important especially for HS.
Chillicothe experiences wide variations in temperature and humidity—cold winters with indoor heating, humid summers, changing barometric pressure—which all impact skin hydration and inflammation levels.
Chillicothe’s strong community ties, access to outdoor recreation and slower pace of life are advantages for stress-reduction, which in turn supports skin-health recovery. Time outside, easier access to nature and fewer urban irritants may strengthen your resilience.
Chillicothe hosts several reliable health and wellness events worth noting:
The first-annual Ross County Health District (RCHD) Family Health Fair (August each year) at the Ross County Service Center and featured screenings, education and wellness activities.
A community health fair hosted by the campus of Ohio University Chillicothe (October each year) offers free wellness resources including sun-safety/skin-cancer prevention exhibits.

These gatherings are excellent opportunities to engage with dermatology and chronic skin-health resources in your local community.
You do not have to manage a chronic skin condition alone—support is available both locally and online.
The Ross County Health District’s health fairs and community outreach events give access to skin-health education and peer-support in the region. Local churches, community centers and senior wellness groups often include skin-health sessions and support for chronic conditions.
The National Psoriasis Foundation offers peer-connections, a “One to One” mentoring program and online forums for people with psoriasis regardless of location.
Platforms like “psoriasisSPEAKS” provide digital connection and support for psoriasis and psoriatic conditions. psoriasis.com
