Skin changes can be uncomfortable, persistent and sometimes a sign of infection or another underlying health issue. Our GPs help assess common skin problems and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
We review the appearance of the condition, how long it has been present, whether it is spreading, and any related symptoms such as pain, itching, fever or swelling.
If your skin concern is worsening, painful, recurrent or associated with other symptoms, early medical review can make treatment easier and more effective.
During a general practice consultation, patients can also ask about prescriptions, referrals, medical advice, immunisations and vaccine guidance where appropriate.
