2. Upload clear photos: Securely upload high-resolution photos of the affected skin areas so the doctor can grade lesion severity accurately.
3. Doctor clinical review: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, when clinically appropriate, issues an official REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours.

Who qualifies

Hi-Doctor provides consultations strictly for mild to moderate papulopustular and comedonal acne requiring topical therapy. Because patient safety is paramount, our doctors enforce strict clinical boundaries regarding which conditions can be safely treated online.

Clinical Status	Eligible for Online Review	Clinical Action
Mild to moderate inflammatory acne & comedones	Yes	Topical assessment for Epiduo (adapalene 0.1% / BPO 2.5%)
Severe nodulocystic or scarring acne	No	Referred to in-person specialist care
Requirement for oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics	No	Referred to local in-person dermatology clinic
Pregnancy or planning pregnancy	No (for Epiduo)	Referred; topical retinoids are contraindicated

Please note that Hi-Doctor provides topical treatments only. Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, and severe or nodulocystic acne fall strictly outside our telemedicine scope and require hands-on physical monitoring.

What Epiduo actually does

Epiduo is a fixed-dose topical gel combining two active ingredients: adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. Note that Hi-Doctor assesses for standard Epiduo (0.1%/2.5%), not Epiduo Forte (0.3%).

• Adapalene 0.1%: A stable, third-generation topical retinoid that normalises follicular keratinisation. It prevents microcomedones from forming and reduces inflammatory swelling.
• Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%: A potent antimicrobial agent that generates reactive oxygen species, killing Cutibacterium acnes without promoting bacterial resistance. It also exerts a mild keratolytic effect.

Apply a pea-sized amount once nightly to clean, dry skin across the entire affected area, not as a spot treatment. Skin purging—a temporary increase in visible lesions as deep microcomedones surface—often occurs between weeks 2 and 6. Meaningful therapeutic improvement is judged at 12 weeks of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Most patients experience mild local irritation during the initial weeks of retinoid adaptation. Common, expected side effects include mild skin peeling, erythema, dryness, and a transient stinging sensation.

To minimise irritation, introduce the gel gradually (every second or third night) and apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, as retinoids increase photosensitivity. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabrics and hair, so wash hands thoroughly after application.

When to discontinue use: Stop applying Epiduo and seek medical advice immediately if you experience severe blistering, intense facial swelling, chemical burns, or symptoms of contact dermatitis.
