How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Hi-Doctor operates an asynchronous consultation pathway. There are no video calls, telephone appointments, or live clinical chats involved.

1. Complete the medical questionnaire: Answer questions regarding your symptoms, medical history, prior skin treatments, and any current medications.
2. Upload clear skin photos: Submit focused, well-lit photographs of the affected areas so the doctor can evaluate lesion type and distribution.
3. Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your questionnaire and images to determine whether topical azelaic acid is clinically indicated.
4. Download your prescription: If approved, your REMPE private electronic prescription PDF is delivered directly to your secure account inbox and notified by email.

Who qualifies

Topical azelaic acid 15% gel (Skinoren) is primarily indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and papulopustular presentations. It is often the preferred clinical choice for patients with darker skin phototypes prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), as well as individuals needing an effective non-photosensitising option.

Patients who qualify for an online dermatology consultation through Hi-Doctor present with localized, non-severe skin conditions. Because safety is paramount, our doctors enforce clear clinical boundaries.

Conditions referred to in-person care

Hi-Doctor's online dermatology service handles topical treatments only. The following presentations are out of scope and will be referred to an in-person specialist:

• Severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or deeply scarring acne.
• Requests for oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane/Accutane).
• Requests for systemic oral antibiotics or oral anti-androgenic therapies.
• Unidentified lesions, suspicious moles, or ulcerated skin lesions.

What Skinoren actually does

Skinoren contains 15% azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid. It exerts a dual mechanism of action: normalizing follicular keratinization to prevent microcomedone formation (comedolytic effect) and inhibiting the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes (antibacterial effect).

Unlike retinoids or benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid does not increase cutaneous photosensitivity and directly inhibits tyrosinase. This makes it particularly effective at clearing acne lesions while fading the dark marks left behind by past breakouts.

Treatment	Active Ingredients	Primary Mechanism	Typical Dosing
Skinoren	Azelaic acid 15%	Comedolytic, antibacterial, tyrosinase inhibition	Twice daily (morning and evening)
Epiduo / Acniduo	Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%	Retinoid turnover plus bactericidal oxidation	Once nightly
Duac	Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl peroxide 3–5%	Topical antibiotic + resistance-preventing antibacterial	Once nightly (capped at 12 weeks)

Therapeutic response requires consistency. Mild skin adjustment can occur during weeks 2 to 6, while clinically meaningful improvement is judged at 12 weeks of continuous use.

Side effects and when to stop

Skinoren is generally well tolerated, but transient localized cutaneous reactions can occur during initial application. Common early reactions include mild stinging, itching, redness, or localized skin peeling.

These symptoms usually decrease within the first 2 to 4 weeks as the skin barrier adapts. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer before or after application can improve tolerance.

You should discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions, marked swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, severe persistent erythema, or blistering.

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Arranging an in-person private dermatology appointment in Vigo often involves waiting weeks for an open slot, followed by travel and crowded waiting rooms. Hi-Doctor streamlines this process into a transparent, digital-first clinical pathway.

Prescriptions issued by our doctors utilize the official Spanish REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) standard. In Spain, the REMPE QR code can be validated through the central registry when you present the PDF at a community pharmacy.

Under Directive 2011/24/EU, Member States are required to recognise prescriptions issued in another Member State for an authorised medicinal product. Prescriptions carry the mandatory clinical fields set out in Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU, though dispensing pharmacists always retain the professional right to review the prescription and refuse dispensing.
