More about your care

What is it?

Facial hyperpigmentation is any localised darkening of facial skin from excess melanin. The most common causes are melasma, marks left after acne or inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and solar lentigines.

Telling them apart matters because they are not all treated the same way, and some pigmented lesions, especially single, asymmetrical or changing ones, must be examined in person to rule out other diagnoses.

In the online consultation, the doctor examines your photos, identifies the type of mark and, when it is melasma or a treatable post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, prescribes a supervised depigmenting course with strict sun protection.

Read the full condition information

The melasma pathway assesses any facial hyperpigmentation. The doctor confirms whether it is melasma or a post-inflammatory mark, prescribes a depigmenting course when appropriate and refers lesions that need examination to in-person care.

HOW COMMON IT IS

Very common in adults, particularly in medium and darker skin types and after acne; melasma is the most frequent cause of symmetrical patches in women.

CAUSES

  • Melasma (hormonal and sun-driven)
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after acne, eczema or injuries
  • Solar lentigines from cumulative exposure
  • Photosensitising medicines
  • Cosmetics or fragrances that react with sunlight

TREATMENT APPROACHES

  • Daily SPF 50+ sun protection as the first measure in every case
  • Hydroquinone 4% cream or gel, only on the patches, in a limited supervised course
  • Kligman-type compounded formula for selected melasma
  • Treating active acne to prevent new marks
  • Review with photos at the end of the course
  • Laser, peels or assessment of doubtful lesions only in person

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

See a doctor if the patches do not improve with sun protection or worry you. A single, asymmetrical, raised, bleeding or changing spot must be examined in person without delay.

Read the refund terms
Facial hyperpigmentation sits within the dermatology area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually, not through an algorithm, and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.
You fill in a dermatology-oriented medical questionnaire (~5 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in less than 2 hours on average. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.
The doctor proposes the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for dermatology. A skin consultation is a €40 one-off. Other areas: €25/month for weight loss, €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth and €35 per sexual health consultation. If your case is not eligible, the applicable fee is refunded in full.
It depends on the case. For dermatology, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.
Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Stuttgart you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
The doctor reviews its appearance and progression, your history, allergies, current products and clear photos when needed. If your skin needs an in-person examination, the doctor refers you before prescribing.
The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) A skin consultation is a €40 one-off. Other areas: €25/month for weight loss, €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth and €35 per sexual health consultation. 3) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription. 4) Collect it at any EU pharmacy.
