How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Acquiring a prescription online follows a structured medical assessment designed to comply with European clinical standards without requiring video calls or in-person waiting rooms.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin symptoms, previous acne treatments, allergies, and medical history.
2. Upload skin photographs: Provide clear, well-lit photos of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion types and disease severity.
3. Doctor review in under 24 hours: An EU-registered medical practitioner evaluates your file. If approved, an official REMPE prescription PDF is generated in your secure account.
4. Present your prescription at a pharmacy: Download or print the PDF to present at any local pharmacy in Rome to collect your medication. Under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, cross-border prescriptions complying with Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU are recognized across Member States, though local dispensing remains subject to the pharmacist's clinical review.

Who qualifies

Skinoren (azelaic acid 15% gel) is a topical dermatological treatment indicated for specific presentations of acne vulgaris and papulopustular rosacea. Our doctors evaluate whether topical azelaic acid fits your profile based on clinical guidelines.

• Mild to moderate inflammatory acne: Suitable for patients with papules, pustules, and comedones seeking a non-antibiotic topical therapy.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Often preferred for darker skin phototypes because azelaic acid selectively inhibits hyperactive melanocytes without bleaching normal skin.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Azelaic acid maintains an established safety profile and is frequently the first-line option considered during pregnancy when retinoids are contraindicated.

Clinical scope limit: Hi-Doctor provides topical dermatology treatments only. Severe nodulocystic acne, extensive scarring, oral isotretinoin, and oral antibiotic therapies require in-person dermatological management and are referred out.

What Skinoren actually does

Skinoren contains azelaic acid at a 15% concentration in a gel formulation. It addresses acne pathogenesis through three distinct mechanisms: it normalizes follicular keratinization (comedolytic), inhibits the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes (antibacterial), and reduces inflammatory cascades.

Unlike topical antibiotics, azelaic acid does not induce bacterial resistance, making it suitable for longer maintenance periods. Realistic clinical expectations are essential when starting treatment:

• Weeks 1–2: Initial skin acclimatization. Mild transient burning or tingling is common.
• Weeks 2–6: Potential purging phase as cellular turnover accelerates. Existing microcomedones surface.
• Week 12: Meaningful clinical improvement is formally assessed at 12 weeks, not before. Treatment must be applied consistently twice daily to evaluate efficacy.

Side effects and when to stop

Azelaic acid 15% gel is generally well tolerated, but local cutaneous reactions can occur during early treatment.

• Expected initial reactions: Mild erythema, localized burning, itching, or peeling during the first 1–3 weeks. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer before or after application helps mitigate irritation.
• When to adjust: If persistent redness occurs, reduce application to once daily or every other night until the epidermal barrier recovers.
• When to discontinue: Stop treatment immediately if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, severe swelling, blistering, or intense contact dermatitis.
