Who it’s for
This service may be suitable for people experiencing acne, including spots, blackheads, whiteheads, oily skin, redness, or inflamed areas. Eligibility for treatment will depend on your symptoms, severity, medical history, current medicines, and any previous acne treatments you have tried.
What we can check
Our pharmacy team will ask about your symptoms, how long you have had acne, the areas affected, and any treatments you are currently using. We may also ask about allergies, medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and whether the acne is causing pain, scarring, or significant skin irritation.
What happens
Your consultation takes place in a private pharmacy setting. A pharmacist will assess your symptoms and discuss suitable treatment options and skincare advice. If appropriate, treatment may be recommended or supplied. More severe acne or symptoms requiring specialist assessment may be referred to your GP or another healthcare professional.
What your results mean
The pharmacist will explain the type and severity of your acne and recommend the most appropriate next steps. If treatment is supplied, you’ll be advised how to use it correctly, possible side effects, and how long it may take before you notice an improvement.
About Urinary Tract Infection
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. It can cause spots, blackheads, whiteheads, redness, and inflammation, commonly affecting the face, chest, and back. Appropriate treatment and skincare can help control symptoms and reduce the risk of scarring.
