Pharmacy First Everyday Heath Conditions

NHS Pharmacy First Northern Ireland is a service offered by our pharmacy to assist patients with access to advice and appropriate treatment for minor illnesses and common health complaints without the need for a GP appointment.

Just walk-in to our pharmacy. Conditions we can treat as part of Pharmacy First Northern Ireland are:

Acne Vulgaris

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point. It causes spots, oily skin and sometimes skin that’s hot or painful to touch. Acne most commonly develops on the face which affects almost everyone with acne, on the back or on the chest.

Athlete’s Foot

Athlete's foot is a common fungal infection that affects the feet. You can usually treat it with creams, sprays or powders from a pharmacy, but it can keep coming back. Our experienced pharmacists can help treat you successfully for Athlete's foot.

Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is passing looser, watery or more frequent poo (stools) than is normal for you. It affects most people from time to time and is usually nothing to worry about. It can be distressing and unpleasant. It normally clears quickly or our pharmacist can help you.

Haemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids are similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum, called internal hemorrhoids. They also can develop under the skin around the anus.

Head Lice

Head lice are tiny insects that live in hair. Nits are the empty egg cases attached to hair that head lice hatch from. They’re largely harmless, but can live in the hair for a long time if not treated and can be irritating and frustrating to deal with. Our pharmacists can help you with head lice.

Groin Area Infection

Treatment for a groin area infection typically involves antibiotics to eliminate bacteria, along with keeping the area clean and dry. Over-the-counter antifungal creams may be used for fungal infections. Severe cases might require surgical drainage. Prompt medical attention is crucial.

Threadworms

Threadworms (pinworms) are tiny worms in your poo. They’re common in children and are spread easily. You may spot threadworms in your poo. The worms look like threads of white cotton and are about 1cm long. You can treat them without seeing a GP by using our walk-in service.

Vaginal Thrush

Thrush is a very common yeast infection. It’s not a sexually transmitted infection. It’s usually harmless but it can be uncomfortable and keep coming back. Some people have no signs of thrush at all. Sometimes there is too much yeast and it can cause symptoms.

Ear Wax

Don't let annoying ear wax bother you any longer. Our microsuction removal service is both gentle and effective, leaving you with clear hearing and a comfortable ear canal. Say goodbye to pesky ear wax and hello to a better listening experience today!

Mouth Ulcers

Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth. They’re uncomfortable but they’re usually harmless. Most clear up by themselves within 1 to 2 weeks. Mouth ulcers are common and can usually be managed at home or our pharmacist can help.

Oral Thrush

Oral thrush is a fungal infection in the mouth caused by the yeast Candida. It's also known as oral candidiasis. Oral thrush can be treated with antifungal medications and good oral hygiene. Serious cases may require prescription medication.

Scabies

Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by mites burrowing into the skin and laying eggs. It's characterized by intense itching and a rash, and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Verrucae

A verruca, a plantar wart, is a wart that grows on the bottom of the foot and is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Verrucas can be contagious and spread by contact with an infected person or by touching contaminated surfaces, like in a pool or shower.
