Eczema and Skin Rashes: What You Need to Know
Skin rashes and eczema (atopic dermatitis) are common conditions that can cause redness, itching, dryness, and irritation. Whether triggered by allergies, irritants, stress, or environmental factors, these conditions can affect your comfort and quality of life.
If you’re experiencing a mild to moderate skin rash or eczema flare-up in the Ottawa or Orleans area, a Centrum Pharmacist can assess your symptoms and help you find relief — no doctor’s appointment required.
How a Centrum Pharmacist Can Help
Under Ontario’s Minor Ailments Prescribing Program, pharmacists are authorized to assess and treat uncomplicated cases of eczema and certain skin rashes.
At Centrum Pharmacy, our pharmacists can:
- Assess your symptoms and medical history.
- Determine if prescription antiviral treatment is appropriate.
- Prescribe antiviral medication (oral or topical) when indicated.
- Provide education on managing symptoms and reducing the frequency of outbreaks.
- Advise you when medical follow-up may be needed.
