How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Getting evaluated for prescription skincare in Naples is completely digital. You do not need to attend a video call or schedule an in-person appointment.

1. Complete the questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin symptoms, previous treatments, allergies, and health history.
2. Upload clear photos: Provide well-lit photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion morphology and severity.
3. Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file within 24 hours and decides if topical Azelaic acid 15% gel is medically indicated.
4. Download your prescription: If approved, download your official REMPE PDF prescription from your patient portal, which can be presented at any EU pharmacy where the pharmacist may dispense a locally marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies

Azelaic acid 15% gel (commonly marketed under brand names such as Skinoren or Finacea) is a versatile topical agent indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne and papulopustular rosacea. It is widely favored for patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and is generally safe for use during pregnancy when approved by a physician.

Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology care only. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics for acne, and severe nodulocystic or scarring disease are strictly referred to in-person care.

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid works through dual mechanisms: it acts as a comedolytic by normalizing keratinization inside the follicle and provides direct antibacterial action against Cutibacterium acnes. It also inhibits tyrosinase, reducing dark spots caused by previous inflammation.

Unlike retinoids or benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid does not cause photosensitivity. Most clinical protocols recommend applying the 15% gel twice daily to clean, dry skin. Visible clinical improvement takes time; while initial changes appear after several weeks, a full therapeutic response should be evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical azelaic acid is generally well tolerated, but mild local cutaneous reactions can occur during the first few weeks of treatment.

• Common reactions: Mild stinging, burning, itching, or transient redness at the application site.
• Management: Applying a basic moisturizer before or after application can reduce local irritation without diminishing efficacy.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and seek urgent medical evaluation if you develop severe swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic contact dermatitis.
