- Complete the clinical questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin history, current symptoms, and past treatments. Upload clear photos of the affected skin areas so the doctor can accurately grade lesion severity.
- Submit your 40 € consultation: Pay securely online. If the doctor determines that topical treatment is not safe or suitable for your case, your fee is refunded in full — no risk.
- Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers and skin photos against clinical dermatology guidelines within 24 hours.
- Download your REMPE prescription: When approved, your REMPE electronic prescription PDF is issued instantly to your secure account and sent via email notification. Download or print the PDF to present at your local pharmacy in Drogheda.

Who qualifies
Skinoren contains azelaic acid 15% gel, a versatile topical agent indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and papulopustular rosacea. It is frequently selected for patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and individuals with sensitive skin phototypes.

- Eligible conditions: Mild to moderate comedonal or papulopustular acne, facial redness from papulopustular rosacea, and post-acne pigmentation marks.
- Pregnancy & lactation: Azelaic acid 15% gel carries a strong safety profile and is generally considered a first-line option during pregnancy when retinoids are contraindicated.
- Out of scope: Severe nodulocystic acne, deep acne scarring, and widespread body acne requiring systemic therapy are out of scope. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or oral antibiotics online; these cases are referred to in-person specialist care.
What Skinoren actually does
Azelaic acid 15% gel delivers a dual therapeutic action. As a comedolytic agent, it normalises keratinisation in the follicular infundibulum to prevent blocked pores. As an antibacterial agent, it inhibits the cellular protein synthesis of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance.
Unlike topical retinoids, azelaic acid does not cause photosensitivity, making it a reliable year-round option for patients managing acne and rosacea in Drogheda.
Clinical improvement requires consistent twice-daily application. Most patients notice early reductions in inflammation by week 4, but meaningful clinical change is formally judged at 12 weeks.
| Treatment | Active Ingredient | Application | Primary Mechanism | Typical Evaluation Point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skinoren | Azelaic acid 15% gel | Twice daily | Comedolytic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory | 12 weeks |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + BPO 2.5% | Once nightly | Retinoid cell turnover + rapid antibacterial | 12 weeks (purging weeks 2–6) |
| Duac | Clindamycin 1% + BPO 3% or 5% | Once nightly | Topical antibiotic with resistance prevention | Capped at 12 weeks max |
Side effects and when to stop
Azelaic acid is generally well-tolerated compared to traditional topical retinoids or benzoyl peroxide. Mild, transient cutaneous reactions are common during the first 2 to 4 weeks of therapy as your skin barrier adapts.
- Common mild reactions: Temporary local stinging, burning, mild redness, and mild peeling immediately after application. Applying a basic non-comedogenic moisturiser 10 minutes prior can mitigate irritation.
- When to stop: Discontinue use immediately if you develop signs of contact allergic dermatitis, such as severe swelling, persistent blistering, or widespread facial hives.
Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic
Securing a GP appointment in Drogheda for non-emergency skin concerns can involve substantial waiting times. Private dermatology clinics frequently charge upwards of 150 € to 250 € for an initial consultation before treatment even begins.
