Who qualifies

Online rosacea consultations are designed for adult patients dealing with mild-to-moderate facial rosacea. Eligibility is assessed individually by an EU-licensed doctor based on symptom presentation and medical history.

Who qualifies

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition influenced by external and internal triggers. Identifying and managing triggers such as ultraviolet radiation, alcohol, hot beverages, spicy foods, temperature shifts, and psychological stress is essential alongside topical pharmacotherapy.

Certain presentations fall outside the scope of remote care. Hi-Doctor evaluates and treats mild-to-moderate topical conditions only:

  • Topical treatment only: Oral antibiotics, oral isotretinoin, and systemic therapies are not prescribed online.
  • In-person referrals: Severe, nodular, or cystic disease, ocular rosacea (eye involvement), rhinophyma (tissue hypertrophy), and vascular laser/IPL therapy require an in-person medical assessment.

What Soolantra actually does

Soolantra is the commercial brand name for ivermectin 1% topical cream. Ivermectin targets papulopustular rosacea through a dual mechanism: reducing the density of microscopic Demodex mites residing in hair follicles and exerting an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing inflammatory cytokines.

Hi-Doctor handles treatment options transparently: our medical team does not prescribe brand-name Soolantra monotherapy. Instead, our doctors prescribe targeted compounded alternatives or established first-line topicals that address multiple rosacea pathways simultaneously.

Treatment Active Ingredients Mechanism of Action Primary Clinical Target
Brand Soolantra Ivermectin 1% Anti-parasitic (anti-Demodex) and anti-inflammatory monotherapy Papulopustular rosacea (Not prescribed by Hi-Doctor)
Compounded Papulopustular Gel Ivermectin 1% + Metronidazole 0.75% + Niacinamide 2% Dual antimicrobial/antiparasitic action plus skin barrier support Inflammatory bumps, pustules, and localized erythema
Compounded Erythema Cream Metronidazole 0.75% + Niacinamide 4% + Azelaic Acid 10% + Allantoin 0.5% Anti-inflammatory, redness reduction, and soothing hydration Persistent central facial erythema and skin sensitivity
Azelaic Acid 15% Gel Azelaic acid 15% Inhibits follicular keratinisation and reduces inflammatory lesions Mild-to-moderate papulopustular rosacea

Rosacea is a manageable condition rather than a curable one; ongoing maintenance is typically required, and relapses can occur upon stopping therapy. Visible improvement with topical ivermectin combinations is commonly observed between weeks 4 and 8, with peak therapeutic response assessed around weeks 12 to 16.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients tolerate topical rosacea treatments well, but localized skin reactions can occur during the initial phase of application.

  • Common reactions: Mild burning, stinging, skin dryness, itching, or temporary localized redness at the application site.
  • Transient worsening: A brief increase in inflammatory papules may occur during the first 1 to 2 weeks as Demodex mite load decreases.
  • When to discontinue: Stop treatment and seek in-person medical evaluation immediately if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, eye irritation, or unmanageable burning.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Rosacea is controlled, not cured: start properly.

Fill in the online questionnaire and upload photos. An EU-licensed doctor decides whether a topical such as azelaic acid or a compounded metronidazole or ivermectin formula fits your case, and issues a valid electronic prescription in under 24 hours if it does.
