About an acne consultation
Acne is common and often managed in primary care, but it deserves a proper plan. We consider the type and distribution of spots, scarring risk, previous treatment, wellbeing and when specialist care is needed.
Care pathway: Usually managed in primary care. Refer for severe acne, scarring, significant psychological distress, diagnostic uncertainty or failure of appropriate treatment.
What happens at your appointment?
History
We map when the concern began, how it has changed, associated symptoms, triggers and treatments already tried.
Skin assessment
The presentation, distribution and relevant health factors are reviewed, including whether the diagnosis remains uncertain.
Right pathway
You leave with a clear primary-care plan, safety-net advice or onward referral when specialist assessment is more appropriate.
- Comedones, inflammatory spots, deeper lesions, affected areas and any emerging scars or pigmentation.
- Products and prescribed treatments tried, duration of use, adherence and side effects.
- Medicine, hormonal and pregnancy considerations, psychological impact and referral thresholds.
How much does an acne consultation cost?
The consultation fee is confirmed when you arrange your appointment, before you commit. If the pharmacist recommends treatment or onward care, any costs are explained before you decide.
Good to know before you book
- Acne treatment takes time; response is usually reviewed over weeks rather than days.
- Picking or squeezing can increase inflammation, pigmentation and scarring risk.
- Some medicines have important pregnancy precautions and monitoring requirements.
After your appointment
- Follow the written skin-care or medicine guidance agreed during the consultation.
- Know which changes mean you should seek earlier clinical review.
- Persistent, worsening or uncertain symptoms are escalated to the appropriate service.
