How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Hi-Doctor operates an entirely asynchronous telemedicine pathway designed for speed, privacy, and full compliance with GDPR and medical standards. There are no video calls or waiting rooms.

1. Complete the acne questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin symptoms, previous treatments, allergies, and medical history.
2. Upload clear photos: Upload focused photographs of the affected skin areas so the evaluating doctor can accurately assess lesion type and severity.
3. Doctor review: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical data and uploaded images within 24 hours.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: When clinically appropriate, the doctor issues a REMPE electronic prescription PDF to your secure account inbox and email. You can present the PDF on your smartphone or print it out at any community pharmacy in Ceuta or across Spain.

Who qualifies

To safely get Duac online in Ceuta, your medical profile must match standard prescribing criteria for combination topical antibacterial therapy. Duac combines clindamycin 1% with benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%).

Eligible profiles

• Adults suffering from mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne (papules, pustules, and mixed comedonal lesions).
• Patients needing an antibacterial treatment with built-in resistance prevention.
• Patients without known hypersensitivity to lincomycin, clindamycin, or benzoyl peroxide.

Ineligible profiles and out-of-scope conditions

• Severe or scarring acne: Nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne cannot be managed through topical telemedicine and requires an in-person dermatologist.
• Oral treatments: Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics for acne, or hormonal therapies online.
• History of enteritis: Patients with a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis should not use clindamycin.

What Duac actually does

Duac is a fixed-dose topical gel pairing clindamycin phosphate (1%) with benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%). Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that halts protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, reducing bacterial load and downstream inflammation.

Benzoyl peroxide adds a potent oxidising bactericidal effect that physically destroys bacteria without inducing resistance. This pairing prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is never prescribed as monotherapy.

Treatment Phase	Typical Clinical Observation	Action Required
Weeks 1–2	Mild redness, peeling, initial dryness	Apply once nightly; use a non-comedogenic moisturiser
Weeks 2–6	Transient purging or ongoing flaking	Continue nightly application; avoid harsh facial scrubs
Weeks 8–12	Reduction in inflammatory papules and pustules	Doctor assesses outcome; treatment is capped at 12 weeks

Side effects and when to stop

Most side effects from Duac are localised to the application site. Understanding expected skin reactions versus adverse reactions ensures safe use.

• Common local reactions: Erythema (redness), peeling, skin dryness, burning sensation, and mild stinging during the first two weeks.
• Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, towels, and clothing on contact. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
• When to discontinue immediately: Stop use and consult a doctor if you experience severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, breathing difficulties, or severe abdominal cramping and watery diarrhoea.
