If you are managing persistent facial redness or inflammatory bumps in Cork and searching for Rozex, you do not need to wait weeks for a local clinic appointment. Hi-Doctor provides an online clinical consultation with EU-licensed doctors who evaluate your skin through a secure medical questionnaire. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe the standalone Rozex brand directly; instead, our doctors assess your symptoms and facial photographs to prescribe advanced compounded formulas containing metronidazole or azelaic acid 15% gel when clinically appropriate. The consultation costs a 40 € one-off fee—which is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription—with reviews completed in under 24 hours.
Over 50,000 patients have used Hi-Doctor's digital platform, which maintains a 4.8/5 rating on Trustpilot for fast, doctor-led clinical reviews.
How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Accessing medical rosacea care in Cork is handled entirely online through an asynchronous clinical pathway. There are no video calls or waiting rooms.
- Complete the questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin history, symptoms, prior medications, and known triggers. You will upload clear photographs of your affected facial areas.
- Submit your consultation: Pay the 40 € one-off consultation fee via secure checkout. The 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.
- Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical details and photographs within 24 hours to determine the appropriate treatment.
- Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, an official Spanish REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) prescription PDF is delivered to your account and sent by email. You can present this cross-border document at an EU pharmacy, where the pharmacist may dispense the prescribed medication.

Who qualifies
Online rosacea consultations are designed for adults (18 years and older) experiencing mild to moderate rosacea symptoms. Because visual evaluation is essential in dermatology, you must provide clear, well-lit photos of your face during the questionnaire.

In-scope conditions
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: Persistent redness and flushing across the central face (cheeks, nose, forehead).
- Papulopustular rosacea: Red bumps and pus-filled lesions resembling acne, without comedones (blackheads).
Out-of-scope conditions requiring in-person care
Hi-Doctor's dermatology consultations are strictly for topical therapies. The service does not prescribe oral antibiotics, oral isotretinoin, or treatments for severe systemic dermatological disease.
- Ocular rosacea: Burning, stinging, or redness in or around the eyes requires urgent, in-person ophthalmological assessment.
- Phymatous changes (Rhinophyma): Tissue thickening or skin enlargement on the nose.
- Vascular laser or IPL requirements: Fixed, visible telangiectasia (broken blood vessels) cannot be removed with topical creams alone.
What Rozex actually does
Rozex is a brand name for topical metronidazole 0.75%. Metronidazole works primarily as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, reducing reactive oxygen species that fuel vascular swelling and inflammatory lesions in rosacea.
Hi-Doctor's doctors do not prescribe standalone Rozex. Instead, our medical team utilises comprehensive multi-ingredient compounded formulations that combine metronidazole with complementary active ingredients to address multiple rosacea pathways simultaneously:
- Compounded Erythema Cream: Metronidazole 0.75% + niacinamide 4% + micronised azelaic acid 10% + allantoin 0.5%. This formulation calms background vascular redness, soothes inflammation, and strengthens the epidermal skin barrier.
- Compounded Papulopustular Gel: Ivermectin 1% + metronidazole 0.75% + niacinamide 2%. Ivermectin targets the microscopic Demodex folliculorum mites implicated in inflammatory flare-ups, while metronidazole and niacinamide suppress active papules and pustules.
- Azelaic Acid 15% Gel: A standalone first-line topical agent (commonly marketed as Finacea or Skinoren) that reduces follicular keratinisation and suppresses inflammatory pathways.
Rosacea is a chronic condition that is controlled rather than permanently cured. Topical therapies generally require 4 to 8 weeks to demonstrate visible improvement, with optimal results observed around week 12. Identifying and avoiding individual triggers—such as UV exposure, alcohol, hot beverages, spicy foods, temperature extremes, and stress—remains an essential component of long-term symptom management.
Side effects and when to stop
Topical rosacea treatments are generally well tolerated, but mild local skin reactions can occur during the first few weeks of application.
- Common, mild side effects: Mild stinging, temporary burning, dryness, mild peeling, or transient skin tightness. These often subside as the skin adjusts.
- When to discontinue: Stop application and seek medical advice if you experience severe contact irritation, spreading rash, facial swelling, or significant burning. Avoid applying any topical rosacea formulation close to the eyes.
