Online GP for Skin Conditions
Video GP consultations are ideal for skin conditions. Show the doctor your rash, acne, or skin concern on camera. Get a diagnosis and prescription the same day. No waiting weeks for an NHS appointment.
Why Video Works for Skin
Skin conditions are visual. A GP can see:
Colour and appearance of the rash
Distribution on your body
Texture and scaling
Signs of infection
Video allows real-time assessment. The doctor can ask you to move closer, show different areas, and assess in good lighting.
