Redness & Rashes

About this treatment

A redness and rashes consultation at Prema Health Clinic in Portsmouth is designed to assess skin changes that may be uncomfortable, persistent, or affecting confidence. Redness and rashes can appear suddenly or develop gradually and may fluctuate over time. During the consultation, the clinician explores when symptoms began, how they have progressed, and whether factors such as stress, illness, environment, or skincare products may be contributing. This detailed discussion helps build a clear picture of the condition and its possible triggers.

Patients are supported in understanding their symptoms and how these may relate to underlying skin conditions. Clear explanations are provided throughout, allowing individuals to feel informed and reassured. Whether symptoms are mild or more disruptive, the focus remains on accurate assessment and thoughtful, personalised care.

Following the consultation, a tailored management plan is discussed. This may include advice, treatment options, or guidance on monitoring symptoms over time. The aim is to reduce discomfort, improve skin health, and help patients feel confident in managing their condition.

In More Detail

A wide variety of skin presentations can be reviewed during the appointment. This includes general rashes, persistent facial redness, flushing, hive-like reactions, and episodes of swelling. Inflammatory patterns consistent with conditions such as rosacea or urticaria can be assessed, alongside signs suggestive of bacterial or viral skin infections. Attention is also given to associated symptoms such as itching, soreness, heat, or sensitivity, as well as the distribution and duration of the rash. By examining these features together, the clinician can provide informed guidance on diagnosis, management, and when further investigation may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are redness and rashes always caused by allergies?

No. While allergies can be a factor, redness and rashes may also be linked to inflammation, infection, chronic skin conditions, or environmental triggers.

2. Should I seek advice for a rash that comes and goes?

Yes. Intermittent rashes can still benefit from assessment, particularly if they are recurrent, worsening, or affecting your quality of life.

3. Do I need a referral to book a consultation?

No referral is needed. You can book directly with Prema Health Clinic for assessment of redness or rashes.

4. What happens after the consultation?

After assessment, the clinician will explain the likely cause of your symptoms and discuss appropriate next steps, which may include treatment, monitoring, or advice on managing triggers.
