Needing a Solution for Your Skin Condition?
Your skin is your body’s first line of defence—so when it’s irritated, inflamed or infected, it can impact your confidence and your wellbeing. With Instant Consult, you can speak to an Australian-registered doctor online for fast advice, prescriptions, or referrals to a dermatologist if needed—no waiting rooms or long delays.
“Easy to use at anytime.” – Joel E.
Having Any of The Conditions?
Acne affects many teenagers and adults and can range from mild blackheads to painful, cystic breakouts. It’s often caused by blocked pores, hormonal changes, or excess oil production.
If over-the-counter treatments aren’t working, our doctors can recommend or prescribe stronger topical or oral medications—including antibiotics, retinoids, or hormonal therapy. We can also refer you to a dermatologist if necessary.
These inflammatory skin conditions cause dryness, redness, itching, and irritation. Common types include atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis (from allergens or irritants), and seborrhoeic dermatitis (often affecting the scalp and face).
Our doctors can help identify your triggers and recommend treatment options such as corticosteroid creams, antihistamines, or emollients to soothe and protect the skin.
Skin infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These include:
- - Impetigo (school sores)
- - Cellulitis
- - Fungal infections like ringworm or athlete’s foot
- - Cold sores or shingles
Prompt treatment can prevent the spread or worsening of infection. Our doctors can assess your symptoms and prescribe appropriate antibiotics or antifungals, and advise you on home care.
Common Triggers That Can Flare Up Skin Conditions

- Weather Changes
- Hormonal Fluctuations
- Skin Irritants
- Allergens
- Diet
- Infections
