AT A GLANCE
Tell the clinician about your current prescriptions, supplements and known allergies, along with relevant conditions, implants, pregnancy or breastfeeding, unusual healing and past reactions to injections or numbing products. For an allergy, note the substance, what happened and when. Do not stop prescribed medicine because of this guide.
Which medications and allergies should I mention?
A skin consultation medication list should include current prescriptions, supplements and known allergies with enough detail for the clinician to review them. The appointment-preparation guide also asks about relevant conditions, implants, pregnancy or breastfeeding considerations and unusual healing. These items belong in the medical discussion, even if the original booking message named only a cosmetic concern.
For an allergy or previous adverse reaction, explain the substance, what happened and when it occurred. If you do not know a medicine’s English name, bring its packaging or a clear product record for the clinician to review. Include previous reactions to injections or numbing products. Ask the clinic how it wants to receive sensitive information; the public website is not a medical-record upload service.
Separate a confirmed allergy from an unexplained previous reaction, and record the timing and substance when known. If you cannot identify an ingredient, bring the packaging or existing record instead of guessing. The hydration guide cautions against stopping prescribed medicine without the managing clinician's advice. Confirm whether any proposed preparation needs input from that clinician and how instructions will be communicated. An appointment request can remain brief while the clinic explains the appropriate channel for the sensitive history needed at assessment.
What should I clarify about medicines before my visit?
- Which medication details should I bring to the appointment?
- Does any proposed preparation require advice from my prescribing clinician?
- How should I document a reaction when the ingredient is uncertain?
Your questions
Should I stop a prescription because an online guide mentions bruising?
Do not change prescribed medicine based on this guide. Discuss it with the treating clinician and, where relevant, the clinician who prescribed it before making a change.
