Private pharmacist-led assessment for suspected fungal infections in Rochdale, supporting patients across Greater Manchester. Fungal infections can affect the skin, feet, groin, scalp and nails. Because several other skin conditions can look similar, treatment starts with an assessment of your symptoms and the area affected.
Common Fungal Infection Symptoms
Symptoms vary by the type and location of the infection and may include itching, scaling, redness, cracked skin, a ring-shaped rash, or changes to the appearance and texture of a nail. Athlete's foot, ringworm and fungal nail infections are common examples.
Your Pharmacist Consultation
Your pharmacist will discuss your symptoms, how long they have been present, previous treatment, relevant medical conditions and medicines. Where appropriate, we can recommend a suitable treatment or explain when further medical assessment is needed.
Treatment Options
Management depends on the suspected infection, its location and severity. Depending on the assessment, treatment may include an appropriate antifungal cream, spray, shampoo or another medicine. If a prescription-only medicine is being considered, it will only be supplied or prescribed through an appropriate legal and clinical pathway following assessment.
Reducing Recurrence and Spread
Your pharmacist can also advise on practical measures relevant to the infection, such as keeping affected areas clean and dry, avoiding sharing personal items and following the treatment instructions for the recommended duration.
When Further Medical Assessment Is Needed
Persistent, recurrent or widespread symptoms, significant pain, signs of bacterial infection, nail disease requiring confirmation, or symptoms that do not respond as expected may need GP or specialist assessment. We will advise you when pharmacy treatment is not appropriate.
