Out-of-scope conditions

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne is out of scope and requires in-person medical care. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics for acne.

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with a multi-action pharmacological mechanism. It acts as a comedolytic by normalising keratinisation in the hair follicle, exerts antibacterial action against Cutibacterium acnes without driving antibiotic resistance, reduces cutaneous inflammation, and inhibits tyrosinase to help fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

The standard dosage is azelaic acid 15% gel applied twice daily to clean, dry skin. Skin purging or mild irritation can happen during weeks 2 to 6 of treatment. Meaningful clinical change is judged at 12 weeks, not before.

Duac gelClindamycin 1% + Benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5%Once nightly (capped at 12 weeks)Acute inflammatory flares with built-in resistance prevention

Side effects and when to stop

Azelaic acid is generally well tolerated, though mild cutaneous reactions can occur during the initial 2 to 4 weeks of application.

  • Common local reactions: Mild stinging, burning, itching, dryness, or peeling at the site of application.
  • Irritation management: Reduce application frequency to once daily or apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser prior to the gel until skin tolerance develops.
  • When to stop: Discontinue use immediately and seek urgent medical evaluation if you develop signs of an allergic reaction, including facial swelling, hives, blistering, or difficulty breathing.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
