About this Service
Clinically reviewed by licensed pharmacistsSkin rashes and dermatitis — including contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, and irritant skin reactions — are among the most common conditions we see at Peel Best Pharmacy. Our pharmacists can assess your rash and prescribe topical corticosteroids, antihistamines, and other first-line treatments under Ontario's Minor Ailments program, without you needing to see a doctor first.
Our pharmacists are trained to distinguish between types of rashes, identify likely triggers, and prescribe the most appropriate treatment. A private consultation takes only a few minutes, and your prescription can be dispensed on the spot.
For rashes with an unknown cause, widespread distribution, possible systemic involvement, suspected infection, or those not improving after initial treatment, a family doctor assessment is recommended. Our onsite family doctors at TDL MD Clinic (Dr. Tony D. Luong, 905-712-3998) and Saldanha Health Centre (Dr. Saldanha, 905-890-8183) can provide thorough dermatological assessment and arrange specialist referrals if needed. Both are co-located with Peel Best Pharmacy at 550 Matheson Blvd W, Unit 106, Mississauga.
