How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps
Accessing medical care online is straightforward, secure, and fully asynchronous. You never have to book time off work or sit in a crowded waiting room.
- Complete the online questionnaire: Answer clinical questions about your skin symptoms, past treatments, and general health. Upload clear photos of the affected skin areas for diagnostic assessment.
- Doctor review: An EU-licensed physician evaluates your answers and photos to determine whether Skinoren (azelaic acid 15% gel) is safe and clinically appropriate for you.
- Prescription issuance: If approved, the doctor issues an official REMPE electronic prescription PDF to your secure Hi-Doctor account and notifies you by email in under 24 hours.
- Pharmacy dispensing: Download and print the PDF prescription, or present it on your smartphone at any local pharmacy in Frankfurt or across Germany.
Who qualifies
Hi-Doctor's dermatology pathway provides medical assessment for mild to moderate skin conditions. During the questionnaire, you must upload clear photos of your skin so the doctor can assess lesion types and disease severity accurately.
- Acne vulgaris: Patients with mild to moderate comedonal or inflammatory acne (papules and pustules).
- Papulopustular rosacea: Adults experiencing facial redness, bumps, and inflammatory pustules.
- Hyperpigmentation & melasma: Patients managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or uneven epidermal pigment.
- Pregnancy & sensitive skin: Patients needing an alternative to retinoids; azelaic acid is frequently chosen during pregnancy and for darker skin phototypes (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) due to its favourable safety profile and low risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Out of scope: Hi-Doctor only prescribes topical treatments. Patients with severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics cannot be treated online and are referred to in-person care.
What Skinoren actually does
Skinoren contains 15% azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid. It provides a dual therapeutic mechanism by acting as both a comedolytic agent (normalising epidermal keratinisation to unclog pores) and an antibacterial agent (inhibiting the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes).
Unlike oral antibiotics, azelaic acid does not induce bacterial resistance, making it suitable for long-term maintenance therapy.
Apply Skinoren gel twice daily to clean, dry skin. While mild purging or irritation can occur in weeks 2 to 6, therapeutic efficacy is evaluated at 12 weeks of consistent use.
| Treatment | Active Ingredients | Application | Primary Clinical Indication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skinoren Gel | Azelaic acid 15% | Twice daily | Mild-moderate acne, rosacea, melasma; pregnancy-safe option |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% | Once nightly | Comedonal and inflammatory acne; dual retinoid/antimicrobial action |
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5% | Once nightly (max 12 weeks) | Inflammatory acne lesions; BPO prevents clindamycin resistance |
Side effects and when to stop
Skinoren is generally well tolerated, but localized skin reactions can occur during the initial weeks of treatment. Most mild reactions resolve as your skin adapts.
- Common initial reactions: Mild stinging, burning, tingling, dryness, or localized erythema (redness).
- Management: If irritation occurs, reduce application to once daily or every other day until tolerance improves, then resume twice-daily use.
- When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you experience severe persistent burning, facial swelling, severe dermatitis, or signs of an allergic reaction, and consult a doctor.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Securing a dermatology appointment in Frankfurt often involves waiting 8 to 16 weeks for a specialist slot under standard statutory health coverage. Private clinic appointments are faster but frequently cost over 100 € before the cost of medication.
Hi-Doctor offers an efficient, high-standard alternative. For a flat 40 € fee, your case is reviewed by an EU-licensed doctor in under 24 hours. The issued REMPE digital prescription complies with Spanish electronic private prescription regulations and contains all required data elements mandated by Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU for cross-border recognition under Directive 2011/24/EU. If the reviewing physician determines that treatment is not clinically safe for your case, your 40 € fee is refunded in full — no risk to you.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, prescriptions issued by an EU-licensed doctor in one Member State are valid for dispensing across the European Union. Your REMPE PDF carries all prescriber and patient identifiers required by Directive 2012/52/EU. Under German law, pharmacists review cross-border prescriptions and dispense the medication or a locally marketed equivalent, though dispensing remains at the individual pharmacist's professional discretion.
