Accessing prescription skincare in Castile and León no longer requires weeks on an appointment waitlist. The entire clinical evaluation takes place online through an asynchronous process.
- Complete the medical questionnaire: Describe your symptoms, medical history, current skincare routine, and upload clear photographs of the affected skin areas.
- Submit payment: Pay the 40 € one-off dermatology consultation fee through our secure checkout.

Who qualifies
Azelaic acid 15% gel is an effective first-line topical treatment for specific dermatological conditions. Hi-Doctor's doctors evaluate eligibility based on your clinical responses and photograph assessment.
- Mild to moderate acne: Patients with non-inflammatory comedones and mild inflammatory papules or pustules.
- Papulopustular rosacea: Individuals experiencing facial erythema, flushing, and inflammatory breakouts.
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Patients with darker skin phototypes prone to dark spots after breakouts, as azelaic acid does not cause photosensitivity.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Azelaic acid is frequently the topical agent chosen during pregnancy when other actives like retinoids are contraindicated.
Out of scope: Hi-Doctor's dermatology service is strictly topical. Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, extensive scarring, or conditions requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person specialist care.
What Azelaic-acid actually does
Azelaic acid 15% gel (commonly marketed under brand names like Skinoren or Finacea) is a dicarboxylic acid that acts through multiple complementary mechanisms. It normalises keratinisation to clear blocked pores (comedolytic action), reduces the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance, and selectively inhibits tyrosinase to lighten post-acne marks.
| Active Treatment | Application Frequency | Primary Mechanism | Typical Evaluation Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azelaic acid 15% gel | Twice daily | Comedolytic, antibacterial, tyrosinase inhibition | Initial tolerance at 4 weeks; clinical assessment at 12 weeks |
| Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Once nightly | Cellular turnover paired with antimicrobial action | Retinoid purging at 2–6 weeks; outcome judged at 12 weeks |
| Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3%/5% | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Direct bacterial suppression paired with resistance prevention | Reduction in inflammatory lesions judged at 8–12 weeks |
Clinical improvement with topical azelaic acid requires consistent daily application; meaningful skin barrier and lesion changes are assessed at 12 weeks of continuous use.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical azelaic acid is generally well-tolerated compared to stronger topical retinoids. However, minor local reactions are common during the initial weeks of therapy.
- Mild local irritation: Transient stinging, burning, itching, or mild scaling often occur during the first 1 to 3 weeks as the skin adjusts.
- Managing initial dryness: Applying a basic, non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after application can reduce local discomfort.
- When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, widespread urticaria, or persistent extreme burning, and seek prompt medical attention.
