  • Medical disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Information you share here is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.

Who this template is for

Dermatology Patient Intake Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in healthcare & clinical.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Have you had this or a similar issue before?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What was done about it before?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Any known allergies to skincare products or medications?” is Yes, “List allergies” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A dermatology visit is short and the skin changes patients want to ask about often started weeks earlier, so this intake gathers the timeline and context before the appointment rather than during it. Page one asks who the patient is, what brought them in, how long it has been present, and whether they have had this or something similar before, which opens a short box only when relevant. Page two covers the history a dermatologist reads before walking in: family history of skin cancer, prior diagnosed skin conditions, time spent outdoors or in tanning beds, current skincare products and any medication applied to the skin, and known allergies to those products. A photo upload lets the patient share what an area looks like right now, which changes over the days before an appointment and is easy to forget to mention out loud. Nothing here interprets the photo or the history; it puts both in front of the clinician before the patient sits down.

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 2 conditional rules, grouped into 2 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Have you had this or a similar issue before?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Have you had this or a similar issue before?” is Yes, the form reveals “What was done about it before?”.

Driven by “Any known allergies to skincare products or medications?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Any known allergies to skincare products or medications?” is Yes, “List allergies” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Ask for a photo taken in daylight

    Skin tone and detail in clinic lighting photos are often unusable; ask for natural light in the upload instructions.

  2. 2

    Read the timeline before the chart

    How long something has been present and whether it has changed shapes the visit more than a product list does.

  3. 3

    Flag allergy answers for the front desk

    A patch test or a specific product recommendation depends on that answer being seen before, not during, the visit.

  4. 4

    Keep the skincare list current

    Ask for what the patient is using right now, not a lifetime history, or the field becomes too long to read quickly.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Skipping the sun exposure question because it feels unrelated to the presenting concern.
  • Leaving the photo optional with no guidance, which produces blurry or badly lit images nobody can use.
  • Not asking what was already tried, so a clinician repeats advice the patient has already followed.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Review the intake and any photo before the appointment, flag allergy answers to the clinical team, and bring forward anything urgent-sounding rather than waiting for the visit.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the dermatology patient intake form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Privacy & compliance

This form collects health information. Keep access limited to the people who need it, turn on encrypted answers for the clinical questions, and set a retention window so records don't sit in the dashboard forever.

Frequently asked questions

Should the patient self-describe the mole or rash?

Yes. The form asks for the patient's own description and timeline; interpreting what it might be is left entirely to the clinician.

Is a photo required?

No, it is optional, since not every visit involves something visible in one spot, but it is genuinely useful for anything on the skin that changes day to day.

How is this different from the general Patient Intake Questionnaire?

That form covers general history for any first visit. This one is built around skin-specific questions a general intake does not ask.

Can it be used for a follow-up visit?

It works best for a first visit; for a follow-up, a shorter update on what has changed since the last appointment usually serves better.

Is the Dermatology Patient Intake Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Dermatology Patient Intake Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Dermatology Patient Intake Form template ask for?

It asks 15 questions across 2 pages, 10 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Dermatology Patient Intake Form form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How does the conditional logic in this healthcare & clinical form work?

2 conditional rules ship with the template: Features advanced show logic: if “Have you had this or a similar issue before?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What was done about it before?”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features conditional validation: if “Any known allergies to skincare products or medications?” is Yes, “List allergies” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.

Where do responses to the Dermatology Patient Intake Form form go?

Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.

Can I embed the Dermatology Patient Intake Form form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Can respondents upload files?

Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.
