3. Doctor assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case within 24 hours to determine clinical suitability.

Who qualifies

Azelaic acid 15% gel (commonly marketed under brand names such as Skinoren or Finacea) is typically prescribed for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne, papulopustular rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is particularly suitable for patients with sensitive skin, darker skin phototypes, or individuals who are pregnant, as it carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and does not cause photosensitivity.

Hi-Doctor restricts its online dermatology service strictly to topical therapies. Patients presenting with severe nodulocystic acne, extensive scarring, or cases requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are not eligible for online management and are referred to in-person dermatologists.

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that acts through two primary mechanisms: comedolytic and antibacterial. It normalises keratinisation inside the follicular infundibulum to prevent pore clogging and reduces the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance.

Applied as a 15% gel twice daily, azelaic acid reduces inflammatory papules and pustules. Unlike retinoids, it does not induce severe retinoid purging or increase sun sensitivity. Clinical improvement develops gradually; while minor improvements may appear within 4 to 6 weeks, meaningful clinical results are judged at 12 weeks of continuous application.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical azelaic acid is generally well tolerated, but local cutaneous reactions can occur during the initial weeks of treatment. Most mild reactions subside as your skin barrier adapts.

• Common mild reactions: Transient burning, stinging, itching, or mild erythema immediately after application.
• Management: Applying a basic moisturiser before or alongside the gel can reduce initial stinging.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience severe allergic dermatitis, blistering, extreme facial swelling, or intractable skin peeling.
