Acquiring an acne assessment through telemedicine requires an accurate clinical evaluation. The process is entirely asynchronous, meaning you complete the questionnaire and upload clear skin photos without needing a video call or phone appointment.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer focused questions regarding your acne history, previous treatments, allergies, and general health.
2. Upload skin photographs: Provide clear, well-lit photos of the affected facial or body areas so the doctor can assess lesion severity and distribution.
3. Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case within 24 hours to determine the most effective topical therapy.
4. Download your prescription: If approved, your valid electronic prescription PDF is delivered directly to your secure account, ready to present at any local pharmacy in Naples.

Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor provides care exclusively for mild to moderate topical acne presentations. To qualify for an online consultation, you must be an adult resident in the EU and present with non-cystic acne lesions.

Patients who qualify typically present with:

• Open and closed comedones (blackheads and whiteheads).
• Mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules.
• Persistent breakouts unresponsive to over-the-counter washes.

Severe nodulocystic acne, conglobata, or acne causing deep scarring require in-person physical examination, baseline bloodwork, and specialised monitoring. For these conditions, Hi-Doctor refers patients to in-person dermatologists. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics.

What Differin actually does

Differin contains adapalene 0.1%, a third-generation synthetic retinoid. Adapalene binds specifically to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma), normalising follicular epithelial desquamation and accelerating cellular turnover to prevent microcomedone formation.

While Differin provides effective comedolytic action alone, Hi-Doctor’s medical formulary pairs adapalene 0.1% with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Adding benzoyl peroxide provides immediate bactericidal activity against Cutibacterium acnes through the release of free oxygen radicals, all without inducing bacterial resistance.

Treatment Option	Active Ingredients	Primary Mechanism	Formulary Status
Differin Gel	Adapalene 0.1%	Comedolytic retinoid monotherapy	Not prescribed (off-formulary)
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%	Comedolytic + non-resistant antibacterial	Prescribed when appropriate
Duac Gel	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% / 5%	Targeted anti-inflammatory & antibacterial	Prescribed (max 12 weeks)
Skinoren / Finacea	Azelaic Acid 15%	Comedolytic, anti-inflammatory, anti-pigment	Prescribed (pregnancy safe)

Retinoid therapy requires patience. Patients frequently experience a "purging" phase between weeks 2 and 6 as microcomedones surface. True therapeutic improvements are assessed at 12 weeks of continuous once-nightly application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical retinoids and combination gels cause local skin adaptation symptoms during the first month. Expected and manageable reactions include mild erythema, localised peeling, dryness, and a brief stinging sensation upon application.

To mitigate local irritation:

• Apply a pea-sized amount to completely dry skin once nightly.
• Layer over a non-comedogenic moisturiser during the first two weeks.
• Always use broad-spectrum SPF daily, as retinoids increase photosensitivity.

Stop treatment immediately and contact local emergency services if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, severe burning, or signs of an allergic reaction.
