How it works: get your consultation in 4 steps

Accessing medical care for mild-to-moderate acne or rosacea through Hi-Doctor involves a simple, asynchronous process designed by clinical dermatologists:

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer targeted questions about your skin symptoms, past treatments, medical history, and allergies.
2. Upload clear photographs: Take well-lit photos of the affected skin areas so the evaluating doctor can accurately assess lesion type and severity.
3. Doctor review within 24 hours: An EU-licensed physician evaluates your clinical profile. If topical Azelaic acid 15% gel is appropriate, they generate your official valid electronic prescription.
4. Download and present at a pharmacy: Download the official prescription PDF directly from your secure patient dashboard or transactional email notification, and present it at any local pharmacy in Burgos.

Who qualifies

Azelaic acid 15% gel (commonly marketed under brand names such as Finacea or Skinoren) is a topical prescription treatment primarily used for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and papulopustular rosacea. You may be eligible for a prescription if you meet the following clinical criteria:

• You have mild-to-moderate inflammatory papules, pustules, or comedones on the face.
• You experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), where azelaic acid provides dual comedolytic and pigment-evening benefits.
• You need an effective topical alternative suitable for darker skin phototypes or during pregnancy (under medical guidance), as it does not cause photosensitisation.
• Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne, as well as cases requiring oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapy, are not suitable for online treatment. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral acne medications and refers severe cases to in-person clinical care.

Treatment Option	Primary Indication	Application Frequency	Key Benefit
Azelaic acid 15% gel	Mild acne, rosacea, post-acne marks	Twice daily (morning and night)	Non-photosensitising; reduces hyperpigmentation
Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedonal & inflammatory acne	Once nightly	Dual-action retinoid and antibacterial synergy
Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3%/5%	Inflammatory acne flares	Once nightly (max 12 weeks)	Reduces resistance risk; rapid antibacterial action

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that exerts multiple therapeutic actions simultaneously. It acts as an antibacterial agent by inhibiting the synthesis of cellular proteins in Cutibacterium acnes. Unlike topical antibiotics, bacteria do not develop resistance to azelaic acid, making it suitable for long-term maintenance therapy.

Furthermore, it normalises keratinisation by reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum and clearing plugged follicular infundibula (comedolytic effect). It also selectively inhibits hyperactive and abnormal melanocytes by suppressing tyrosinase, making it exceptionally effective for fading red and brown post-inflammatory marks.

Clinical improvement with topical azelaic acid typically requires patience: initial adjustments occur during weeks 2–6, while meaningful clinical outcomes are evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical azelaic acid is generally well-tolerated compared to traditional retinoids or benzoyl peroxide, but local cutaneous reactions can occur during the first few weeks of therapy:

• Common, mild reactions: Transient burning, stinging, itching, or mild dryness immediately after application. These usually subside as the skin barrier adapts over 2 to 4 weeks.
• Management: Applying a basic, non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after azelaic acid, or reducing application to once daily until tolerated, often mitigates irritation.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and contact a doctor if you experience severe erythema, persistent swelling, hives, or signs of an allergic contact dermatitis.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Booking a specialist dermatology consultation in Burgos can take months through public healthcare channels or require costly private clinic fees. Hi-Doctor provides a streamlined, medically rigorous alternative:

• Asynchronous care: Complete your consultation entirely online at any time without sitting in waiting rooms, missing work, or scheduling video calls.
• Clinical photo assessment: Every case is individually assessed by a registered EU doctor using your clinical history and uploaded lesion photographs.
• Transparent pricing: A single flat fee of 40 € covers the review. The 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.
• Cross-border the valid electronic prescription standards: Approved prescriptions comply with Spain's Receta Médica Privada Electrónica and Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU for cross-border recognition. The PDF can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews it and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.

A doctor reads your photos, not a quiz result.

Complete the online questionnaire and add photos of the affected skin. An EU-licensed doctor reviews both and, if a topical treatment is clinically appropriate, issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours. If no prescription is issued, the €40 fee is refunded in full.
