Services
Treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs), typically involving antibiotics.
Cold sores are clusters of blisters typically caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), often appearing on or around the lips. This service provides evaluation of symptoms and, when appropriate, treatment options that may help reduce severity and shorten the course—especially when started early.
You’ll also receive guidance on symptom relief, reducing spread to others, and identifying common outbreak triggers. If lesions are severe, frequent, or involve the eye area, you’ll be directed to urgent or specialized care.
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) causes redness, irritation, tearing, and sometimes discharge. This service provides an assessment to help distinguish common causes—viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritant—so you can get the right care and reduce the risk of spreading infection.
You’ll receive guidance on symptom relief, hygiene, and return-to-work/school considerations. If symptoms suggest a more serious eye issue—such as severe pain, light sensitivity, or vision changes—you’ll be directed to urgent eye care.
Medical procedures or therapies to reduce or eliminate acne.
This service evaluates common rashes and eczema (atopic dermatitis), which can cause itching, dryness, redness, and irritation. A clinician reviews your symptom pattern, exposures, and skincare routine to help identify likely triggers and rule out infections or allergic reactions that may need different treatment.
You’ll receive a practical plan that may include moisturization strategies, anti-inflammatory options, and trigger avoidance recommendations. If the rash is severe, spreading, or associated with fever or swelling, you’ll be advised on urgent or in-person care.
