Making an appointment
Patients should in the first instance make an appointment with their GP. Treatment may be started by your GP, which needs to be used carefully as instructed. Some treatment may take several weeks to make a difference. If the problem is not resolved despite using treatment as directed, return to your GP who will decide whether referral is then necessary.
