Can a pharmacist help ?

Hi all. Over a month ago I discovered a tiny blister looking like bump next to my fingernail. Sometimes it hurts and can be quite uncomfortable. To begin with, I thought it was a blister as it looks like skin with some clear fluid under. But it’s been over a month now and hasn’t popped.
do you think a pharmacist can help diagnose what this is? Not sure it’s important enough for a GP to have a look at. Many thanks x

Is it a wart? Or molluscum contagiosum?
Worth them having a look though.

It sounds like a whitlow and maybe a pharmacist can prescribe an anti viral cream.

Yes definitely worth them taking a look

But don’t bother going to Boots, try a helpful independent pharmacy.
