The doctor reviews the appearance, location, onset, spread, symptoms, exposures and previous treatment. If photographs are not sufficient—or the problem needs dermoscopy, a swab, drainage or biopsy—you will be directed to suitable face-to-face care.
Stable medicine, unchanged dose and supporting evidence
Use the repeat review. If another provider started treatment, send a named prescription, report or dispensing record.
