Skin Infections

Skin infections can be caused by bacteria or fungi and may lead to redness, itching, soreness, scaling or weeping areas of skin. GetMyMeds offers treatments, including combination creams that tackle infection alongside inflammation, to help clear the affected area and ease symptoms.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation describing your symptoms, where they are and how long they have lasted.
2. A clinician reviews your information to confirm whether the treatment is appropriate and safe for you.
3. Once approved, your treatment is sent out in plain, discreet packaging for delivery to your chosen address.

Who Is It For

These treatments may suit adults dealing with localised bacterial or fungal skin infections, or inflamed, infected patches of eczema or dermatitis. Some products combine an anti-infective with a mild steroid to calm inflammation. If your symptoms are spreading quickly, you feel generally unwell, or the area is very painful or hot, you should seek in-person medical advice promptly rather than treating it at home.

FAQ

How do I know if my rash is infected? Signs can include increasing redness, warmth, swelling, pus or a spreading area. If you are unsure, a clinician can review your symptoms during the consultation and advise on next steps.

Why do some creams contain a steroid as well? Combination creams pair an anti-infective with a mild steroid to treat infection while reducing the itching and inflammation that often come with it. They are intended for short-term use under guidance.

What if my infection does not improve? If there is little or no improvement after the recommended course, or symptoms worsen, contact a clinician or your GP, as a different treatment or further assessment may be needed.
