The Infection Service

The Infection Service is where we determine infectious disease that one may have developed or got worst.
For example: one may have developed a cold infection.
In this section we have added questions which relate directly and indirectly to the initial over the counter condition and feel these questions should be asked and answered during an initial consultation with your medical professional, unfortunately there is not always time to do so when having a one to one session.
We kindly ask you to answer all questions to represent an accurate report so your medical healthcare professional can use (if they wish to) it as a guide to the next appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
All the questions answered will be represented to one as a report so one can show one’s Pharmacist/ Medical doctor.
An email will be sent to you.

Rash:

Rash conditions are difficult to diagnose:

We would say as a guide:

Rule out Meningitis, Septicaemia, Sepsis, aggressive Skin cancer or skin changes and other hospital conditions under ‘Skin‘
First check ‘Over The Counter’ skin conditions – see ‘Anatomy page’
If one feels it is not those skin conditions, then check the Infection service for an infectious rash.
If one feels its is not an infectious rash then look at Rash aftercare section.
