Skin Care

Many skin conditions can be treated at home. Mild steroid creams such as hydrocortisone calm eczema and reactions to insect bites, benzoyl peroxide gel helps with spots, and antifungal treatments clear athlete's foot. Some of these are pharmacy medicines, so we'll ask a few questions before we send them.

Speak to a pharmacist or your GP if a rash spreads quickly, your skin becomes hot, painful or swollen, or a treatment hasn't helped within the time given on the label.
