Meet Your Dermatologist
I’m Dr. Mayra Beauchamp, a board-certified dermatologist born and raised in San Juan, with family roots in Ciales on my father’s side and Guayama on my mother’s.
My medical education began in Puerto Rico. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico and graduated from the UPR School of Medicine in 2005. I remained at UPR to complete my dermatology residency in 2010.
During my early years as a dermatologist in Puerto Rico, I had the privilege of practicing medicine in several different settings. I served as an assistant professor in the Dermatology Residency Program at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine, where I taught dermatology residents and medical students; cared for our veterans at the San Juan VA Medical Center; and maintained my own private practice in Guaynabo.
It was through my work with the VA that I first encountered teledermatology. Our dermatology team remotely evaluated patients referred from clinics throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, reviewing their medical histories and clinical photographs to recommend treatment and determine when an in-person evaluation or procedure was necessary.
Many years later, remote photographic evaluation remains an important part of my everyday clinical practice and one of the reasons I believe so strongly in the potential of teledermatology.
Clinical Experience and Approach to Patient Care
Throughout my career as a dermatologist, my practice has focused primarily on general medical dermatology, caring for patients of all ages. I particularly enjoy the challenge of diagnosing difficult rashes and skin conditions, detecting skin cancers early, and treating the many common dermatologic problems that affect my patients’ everyday lives.
One of the things I value most about dermatology is not only solving the problem, but also educating my patients. To me, a good consultation doesn’t end with a diagnosis or prescription. I want you to understand what you have, why I’m recommending a particular treatment, and what to do if the problem changes or doesn’t improve.

When you see me through telederm PR, my goal is to provide expert dermatologic care while building the same kind of relationship based on trust, respect, and communication that you would expect when walking into a traditional medical practice.

Why telederm PR?
Puerto Rico has always remained home to me, even as my medical career eventually took me beyond the Island. I know that getting timely access to a dermatologist in Puerto Rico can be difficult. A shortage of specialists and long appointment wait times can turn a skin problem that needs attention into months of uncertainty.
Â
I founded telederm PR to help bridge that gap. I want to use the experience I’ve gained throughout my career as a dermatologist to provide another way for patients in Puerto Rico to access dermatologic care. But I don’t want to create an impersonal service where you simply upload a few photographs and receive an automated response. I want telederm PR to feel like a traditional dermatology practice, with the convenience of modern technology. I want to listen to you. I want you to feel respected and cared for. I want you to understand what’s happening with your skin, why I’ve recommended a particular treatment, and what you should do next. And I want you to be able to receive that care in the language in which you’re most comfortable, Spanish or English.
