Can an Ontario pharmacist help with atopic, allergic or contact?

Yes - atopic, allergic or contact is one of the minor ailments an Ontario pharmacist can assess and, when appropriate, treat. With Pharmly, a licensed pharmacist reviews your online questionnaire and follows up within 24 hours - no appointment, referral or family doctor needed. Start a free atopic, allergic or contact assessment.

Simple self-care

Moisturize often with a fragrance-free cream
Avoid harsh soaps and known triggers
Use lukewarm - not hot - water

When to see a doctor instead

See a doctor - or, for anything severe, go to the emergency department or call 911 - if the skin is weeping, crusting or looks infected; you have a fever or the rash spreads quickly. Our questionnaire screens for these warning signs and points you to the right care.

What it costs

The assessment is free with a valid Ontario health card, or a flat $30 without. Any prescribed medication is billed at its usual price and may be covered by your drug plan.
