Introduction
Skin treatment with a pharmacist review
Acne, eczema, rosacea and cold sores are often suitable for a private online consultation when the story is clear and you can share photos or a detailed history if asked.
Infections such as impetigo, infected bites, chickenpox, shingles and other skin infections need extra care. A clinician will decline treatment if you need an examination or urgent care instead.

Eligibility
Who these treatments are for
These pages are for adults in the UK who want a private, clinician-reviewed consultation for skin conditions. A clinician decides whether treatment is suitable. The lists below are a guide only.
May be suitable if
- You are an adult and can complete an online consultation accurately
- Your symptoms match one of the listed conditions
- You can provide your medical history and current medicines
- You understand that a clinician may decline treatment if it is not appropriate
Seek other care if
- You have severe, sudden or worsening symptoms that need urgent assessment
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child — unless a page says otherwise
- You need an examination, test or face-to-face review that cannot be done online
- This is an emergency — go to A&E
If you are unsure, contact us or use NHS 111. Online treatment is not a substitute for emergency care.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to see the answer. If you still need help, our team is ready to assist.
Do I need to send a photo?
Sometimes. Follow the instructions on the treatment page. A clinician may ask for more information before deciding.
Can shingles be treated online?
A clinician may review a request if it is appropriate. Shingles can be serious — seek urgent care if you have eye symptoms, are very unwell, or the rash is spreading rapidly.
What about fungal nails?
Fungal nail infection is listed under Skin & Nails.
Are steroid creams always prescribed?
No. The clinician chooses a treatment only if it is suitable for your skin problem and history.
