About an impetigo consultation
Impetigo can often be assessed through community pharmacy or primary care. The consultation checks that the presentation fits, rules out a more serious infection and explains treatment and how to reduce spread.
Care pathway: Generally managed in community pharmacy or primary care. In England, eligible people aged 1 year and over may be assessed through NHS Pharmacy First; severe, recurrent or systemic illness needs escalation.
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.
- Where the sores began, how quickly they spread and whether there is pain, fever or wider illness.
- Age, pregnancy or breastfeeding, immune status, recurrent episodes and medicines or allergies.
- Eligibility for community treatment, infection-control advice and when GP review is safer.
How much does an impetigo 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
- Impetigo is contagious and can spread through skin contact, towels and bedding.
- Complete any prescribed course exactly as directed, even if the skin improves earlier.
- Recurrent infection may need swabs or a broader medical review.
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.
