Eligible presentations

  • Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Persistent central facial erythema, flushing, and sensitive skin.
  • Papulopustular Rosacea: Red papules and pinpoint pustules across the cheeks, nose, forehead, or chin.
  • Adults (18+): Patients residing in Essen or anywhere in the EU needing ongoing maintenance or primary topical therapy.

Out-of-scope conditions requiring in-person care

Hi-Doctor provides topical rosacea care only. The following presentations cannot be treated online and require in-person specialist assessment:

  • Ocular rosacea (grittiness, burning, light sensitivity, or redness of the eyes).
  • Rhinophyma (tissue hypertrophy and thickening of the nasal skin).
  • Severe, nodular, or cystic disease requiring oral antibiotics or oral isotretinoin.
  • Physical modalities such as vascular laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for visible telangiectasia.

What Rozex actually does

Rozex contains metronidazole 0.75%, an active agent that exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the skin. It downregulates reactive oxygen species produced by neutrophils, reducing the inflammatory papules and pustules characteristic of rosacea.

Hi-Doctor's clinical team does not prescribe standalone Rozex. Instead, when treatment is indicated, doctors prescribe comprehensive, multi-ingredient compounded formulas or licensed single-agent alternatives that combine complementary mechanisms of action to address both inflammation and background erythema.

Treatment Option Active Ingredients Clinical Focus Formulary Status
Rozex (Reference) Metronidazole 0.75% General rosacea inflammation Not prescribed (Reference only)
Compounded Erythema Cream Metronidazole 0.75% + Niacinamide 4% + Azelaic Acid 10% + Allantoin 0.5% Persistent central redness & inflammation Available via prescription
Compounded Papulopustular Gel Ivermectin 1% + Metronidazole 0.75% + Niacinamide 2% Inflammatory bumps & Demodex density Available via prescription
Azelaic Acid 15% Gel Azelaic Acid 15% (Skinoren / Finacea) First-line papulopustular rosacea Available via prescription

Rosacea is a chronic condition that is controlled rather than permanently cured. Visible improvement typically requires 6 to 12 weeks of consistent daily topical application, and relapse is expected if therapy is stopped prematurely. Daily trigger management (avoiding UV exposure, alcohol, extreme heat, spicy foods, and emotional stress) is essential alongside topical therapy.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical rosacea treatments are generally well tolerated, but localized skin reactions can occur during the initial weeks of treatment.

Expected mild reactions

  • Mild transient stinging or burning sensation upon application.
  • Local dryness, tightness, or mild peeling.
  • Temporary skin irritation as the epidermal barrier adapts.

When to discontinue treatment

Stop using the topical medication and contact a healthcare professional immediately if you experience signs of severe contact dermatitis, severe persistent burning, facial swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing.
