Diagnosis on line

[johnnywgk]

Hi all, is there a place i can upload a photo on line and someone could tell me whats the problem.
I have a spotty rash all over my back that came on over night tia

No chance any doctor will stake their carreer on a photo.

Go get a GP appointnent or if serious enough go to your local minor injuries clinic.

Be prepared to be sent home with hydrocortisone cream if you havent tried it yet?

Nearest pharmacist. They usually have private consultation rooms.

Your own gp will probably do econsults and allow photos to be uploaded. There are many private GPs online that would give advice too. Have urgent treatment centres also.

Try calling 111, it'll take along time to get through but they can usually get you an appointment with a doctor or specialist.

Where in the country are you? In my neck of the woods (north Surrey) there is a service called LIVI which does remote consultations.

I had a mole looked at remotely and then referred to a consultant dermatologist for a video call. Didn’t need to leave home for a full review and discharge.

[johnnywgk]

Tried the pharmacy, easyest option. He told to go drs and say he sent me. Receptionist sent me packing saying ring back at 8 am or ring 111.
Totally usless service.
Thanks for your help.

Sadly you are wrong.

[johnnywgk]

Yeah, my Dr asked for a photo

Don’t even need a photo, Sounds like shingles. Where shall I send the bill?
There’s plenty of online docto apps, try Babylon and similar

[johnnywgk]

He dont think its shingles

I use these guys for my family Private GP services for many years and they offer remote consultations

Yes, you can. Many of our life insurance plans come with a digital gp for free. You book an appointment online, write a description, attach photos, then you have a video consultation, and can even get repeat subscriptions.

I don’t know if you can buy this separately though.

Thanks

So how long did it take to get an appointment after your 8am call, or did you just call 111?

[johnnywgk]

After seeing photo Dr told me to come straight in

[Grumps.]

And the diagnosis is?

[johnnywgk]

Dr dont know, gave me antibiotics, cream and some anti itch tablets
