I have been advised to see a podiatrist or go to urgent care about my ankle but there aren't any near me, would a local pharmacy help with it?

: Pharmacies in the US often carry many general health related products that may help with a variety of issues, this may be the same in your country. Pharmacists are not trained to handle what podiatrists or doctors do.
