Out of scope conditions

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Severe, nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne falls outside the scope of our online service. We do not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics for acne. Patients presenting with severe disease or scarring are advised to seek direct, in-person specialist care.

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with a multi-modal mechanism of action. It normalises follicular keratinisation (comedolytic action), directly reduces the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance, suppresses reactive oxygen species (anti-inflammatory action), and selectively inhibits tyrosinase in hyperactive melanocytes.

Patients typically apply the 15% gel twice daily to clean, dry skin. Initial skin cell turnover can cause transient purging between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful clinical improvements should be judged at 12 weeks of continuous application, rather than in the initial days of treatment.

Treatment Option	Active Composition	Application Regimen	Primary Clinical Focus
Azelaic acid 15% gel	Azelaic acid 15%	Twice daily	Comedones, inflammatory papules, rosacea, post-inflammatory pigmentation
Epiduo / Acniduo gel	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%	Once nightly	Comedonal and inflammatory acne lesions without oral antibiotics
Duac gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5%	Once nightly (capped at 12 weeks)	Acute inflammatory flares where combination therapy prevents resistance

Side effects and when to stop

Azelaic acid is generally well tolerated, but mild, local cutaneous reactions can occur during the first 2 to 4 weeks. These symptoms are usually temporary and subside as your skin adjusts to the active ingredient.

• Common transient side effects: Mild burning, stinging, itching (pruritus), dryness, or peeling at the application site.
• Managing irritation: You may temporarily reduce application to once daily or apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser before the gel until skin tolerance improves.
• When to discontinue: Stop treatment immediately if you develop signs of an allergic reaction, including severe facial swelling, hives, spreading rash, or intense blistering, and consult an emergency healthcare professional.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Arranging a private dermatology appointment in Elche often involves extended waiting lists, clinic travel, and high consultation fees. Hi-Doctor eliminates the waiting room by delivering a direct, asynchronous clinical review from EU-registered physicians.

The 40 € dermatology consultation covers the full medical assessment and photo evaluation. A doctor reviews within 24 hours and issues a prescription when clinically appropriate. If the doctor determines that topical treatment is not suitable for your condition, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full.

Your prescription is issued using Spain's official REMPE electronic standard. In Spain, the QR code is verified instantly against the central registry. Under Directive 2011/24/EU, the prescription can be presented at any EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist reviews the document—compliant with Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU—and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the professional right to refuse dispensing under local regulations.
