Why can steroid cream make diagnosis harder?

Steroids can suppress inflammation and change the appearance of fungal infection.

Two appointment routes

Choose the route that matches your situation

Starting treatment or something has changed

Use the doctor consultation for a new problem, new symptoms, side effects or a dose change.

Stable established treatment

Use the repeat review only when the medicine and dose are unchanged and you can provide evidence.

During the consultation

A clinical decision, not an automatic prescription

The doctor checks whether the likely diagnosis, treatment history and safety information are clear enough for remote care. Examination, testing or a local referral is recommended whenever that is the safer next step.

After the consultation

A plan you can act on

You receive advice, follow-up timing and—only when clinically appropriate—an electronic prescription by email for dispensing at a pharmacy in Spain.
