My skin was acting up again, but this time it was impetigo—a red, itchy annoyance that got worse by the minute. Being in Lefkada, beautiful as it is, didn’t make finding a doctor who spoke English any easier. I was frustrated, imagining the long wait at a local clinic where I’d have to mime my symptoms. Not exactly my idea of a holiday highlight.

That’s when I remembered Doctorsa. I got connected with a doctor in just 15 minutes. What a relief! The doctor didn’t just speak English; he made sure I understood everything about the treatment, including how to get rid of impetigo fast. I got my prescription for antibiotics for impetigo, and he answered all my questions—not in rushed, complicated terms, but in clear and reassuring language.

Honestly, using Doctorsa was a game changer. It was quick, hassle-free, and cheaper than what I'd expect to pay locally. Plus, knowing I could chat for free for a week if anything else popped up was reassuring. My impetigo cleared up, and I was back to enjoying Lefkada without a hitch.

You can buy antibiotics for impetigo in Lefkada without seeing a doctor in person. A quick online chat with an English-speaking doctor through Doctorsa is the easiest way to get antibiotics for your impetigo. The doctor will ask you a few questions and then will provide a prescription that you can collect at a nearby pharmacy in just a few minutes.

Can impetigo go away on its own?

It’s very unlikely that impetigo will go away on its own. In most cases, these conditions require treatment, and delaying care can lead to complications. With Doctorsa, you can quickly speak with an English-speaking doctor, get the treatment you need, and have prescriptions sent to a nearby pharmacy. Don’t wait—get the care you need today.

How does Doctorsa work?

Open the intake form and choose one of the following options:

Urgent Care: For immediate treatment of your impetigo via virtual care.
Set Up an Appointment: To schedule a same-day or future appointment.

How do I get a prescription from an online doctor?

Following the consultation, if appropriate for your case, the doctor will either email the e-prescription to you or send it directly to the pharmacy. You can then either print it out or show it to the pharmacist when purchasing the medication.

It’s important to understand that doctors must responsibly evaluate each case individually. They can’t simply prescribe medication solely based on a patient’s request or a recommendation from another doctor without confirming that it’s suitable for the patient’s specific condition.

How much does it cost?

Prices vary depending on the provider since they compete to offer you a fair rate. On average, an online doctor visit costs around €25. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab work have different prices depending on the city. When you send a request you can choose the provider that suits you best but there’s no obligation to book.

Keep in mind that the consultation fee doesn’t include medication. The good news is that common antibiotics are generally affordable throughout Europe, usually between €5 and €15.

Are doctors available on weekends?

Absolutely! As soon as you send in your request, it’s instantly received by the doctors who are on duty at that moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s late at night, early on a Sunday morning, or even on August 6th when Lefkada celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ—there’s always someone ready to help. When you get an appointment option, just remember that a real doctor has seen your request and is ready to assist you.
