A painful or spreading skin problem?
Fast Track can assess selected skin infections and abscesses. The clinician examines the area, symptoms, timing, health history and signs that a different level of care is needed.
What the clinician may consider
Do not squeeze or attempt to drain an abscess yourself. Treatment depends on the examination and clinical findings.
Choose a care topic
Open the closest topic for more detail. A clinician still decides whether the clinic is suitable.
What happens when you walk in
Tell us what happened
Share the symptoms, timing, medicines, allergies and relevant health history.
Get clinically assessed
A clinician checks urgency and decides which examination, test or imaging may be useful.
Leave with a clear next step
The next step may be care at Fast Track, follow-up, referral or hospital assessment.
Still unsure?
Call Fast Track on (07) 2809 1201. The clinic team can explain whether to walk in, see a GP or seek hospital care. Call 000 for a life-threatening emergency.
