1. Complete the questionnaire: Answer questions regarding your skin history, previous treatments, and symptoms.
2. Upload clear photos: Provide high-resolution photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can evaluate lesion type and severity.
3. Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file within 24 hours to determine clinical suitability.

Who qualifies

Azelaic acid 15% gel (commonly marketed under brand names such as Skinoren or Finacea) is a prescription-only topical treatment. Doctors assess whether your symptoms match safe, evidence-based criteria for home application.

• Mild to moderate acne: Patients with persistent comedones, papules, or pustules seeking effective topical care.
• Papulopustular rosacea: Individuals experiencing facial redness, inflammatory bumps, and papules.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Patients with darker skin phototypes prone to dark marks after breakouts, as azelaic acid carries a low risk of pigmentation changes and does not photosensitise.
• Pregnancy-safe acne care: Often chosen as a safer topical alternative when retinoids and oral therapies are contraindicated.

Patients presenting with severe nodulocystic acne, deep scarring, or systemic symptoms are out of scope. Hi-Doctor treats topical conditions only; severe cases requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Azelaic-acid actually does

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that targets multiple pathways in inflammatory skin conditions. Applied twice daily, it acts as a comedolytic agent to unblock pores and provides antibacterial action against Cutibacterium acnes without triggering antibiotic resistance.

Treatment Phase	Expected Clinical Timeline	Mechanism of Action
Weeks 1–2	Skin adjustment phase	Mild tingling or dryness as skin adapts to the 15% gel formulation.
Weeks 4–6	Initial reduction in inflammation	Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties decrease active papules.
Week 12	Full clinical evaluation point	Normalised keratinisation clears comedones and fades post-inflammatory marks.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical Azelaic acid 15% gel is generally well tolerated because it does not cause photosensitivity. However, initial local cutaneous reactions can happen during the early weeks of use.

• Common mild reactions: Transient burning, stinging, itching, or minor peeling around the application site.
• Management: Applying a non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after application can reduce local dryness.
• When to stop: Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience intense swelling, severe contact dermatitis, or signs of an allergic reaction.
