If its infected I would definitely get it looked at yes, as I guess a skin infection and this heat is really going to become uncomfortable and only get worse, maybe ring 111 they might be able to get you booked in somewhere like a walk in centre tomorrow, the very least they should do is give you some advice for relief until you are seen.

Good luck 👍 they have been helpful to me in the past, it's a bit of a wait for a call back sometimes, but It beats sitting in a&e, they will tell u to go if they think you need to.

Your GP should have referred you to Dermatologist ( can u see another GP)? - - You should write to Practice Manager and tell them you are not satisfied with the care you have been given ! (Or lack of it)! Reading this makes me angry!!Hope you'll get correct care with this problem.

Best regards

Everytime I phone they say there's no doctor to see me they gave a small tube of fucibet the last time its all over my body so that didn't last long it's gotten really bad now

I would suggest A &E -tell them GP doesn't think anything else needs doing!!!(altho he hasn't tried)!!They should refer you to Dermatologist-at your hospital-!

Good Luck
