You will be asked about symptoms, who is affected, and how long the rash has been present, then the area will be looked at to understand what may be going on. You will be given clear advice on self-care, hygiene, and how to reduce spread to others at home or in childcare settings. If treatment is suitable, you will be told what to use and how, and if not, you will be guided on the most appropriate next step.
