Key Points

If you’re dealing with a skin issue like rosacea while in Kos, don’t hesitate to use a service like Doctorsa for a quick diagnosis and rosacea medicine in Kos.
Remember that language barriers don't have to be a problem; Doctorsa connects you with English-speaking doctors, making it easy to get an online prescription anywhere you are.

My face was suddenly a canvas of red blotches, acting up just as I was enjoying the serene beaches of Kos. Rosacea is no fun, especially when you’re far from home and have no clue where to find help. I was frustrated, thinking about how I’d spend the rest of my trip trying to cover up rather than soak in the sun.

I needed a quick fix on how to get rid of rosacea fast, but the thought of navigating the Greek healthcare system was daunting. Then I remembered reading about Doctorsa. In mere moments, I was connected with an English-speaking doctor who understood exactly what I was going through. The best part? It didn’t break the bank, unlike what I imagined a local clinic might cost me.

The doctor was thorough, asking about my history with antibiotics and swiftly prescribing a new course of medication for rosacea when the first didn't do the trick. I had the prescription in my hand, ready for the pharmacy, just five minutes later. The follow-up care was a lifesaver too. The doctor checked in, adjusted the treatment, and made sure everything was good before I left the island.

Thanks to Doctorsa, I spent my last days in Kos sunburn-free and a little rosier in the cheeks, but in the best way possible.

Can you get topical metronidazole or azelaic acid creams for rosacea over the counter in Kos?

The rules for getting this medication can differ from place to place. If you’re not sure about the specifics in Greece, it’s a good idea to speak with a doctor for accurate information and guidance. If you need to get the medication right away, you can easily talk to an English-speaking doctor online through Doctorsa. They can answer your questions and get you a prescription quickly, if needed.

Can rosacea go away on its own?

Sure, some minor issues might get better on their own, but it’s always a bit of a gamble. Sometimes you’ll be fine, but other times ignoring a problem can lead to bigger issues or a longer recovery. For example, letting rosacea go untreated can make things a lot worse. A lot of travelers put off seeing a doctor because it just feels like too much trouble—especially somewhere unfamiliar. But with Doctorsa, there’s no need to wait or take any chances. You can connect with an English-speaking doctor in minutes, get the treatment you need, and even have prescriptions sent right to you. It’s quick, easy, and designed to take the stress out of healthcare, even when you’re far from home. Why hope for the best when getting help is this simple?

How does Doctorsa work?

Open the intake form and choose one of the following options:

Urgent Care: For immediate treatment of your rosacea via virtual care.
Set Up an Appointment: To schedule a same-day or future appointment.

Next, select how you would like to receive appointment offers from doctors.
We recommend using WhatsApp as it is faster and more reliable. You will quickly receive various visit options. Choose the one that suits you best and proceed to online payment.

Video visits are browser-based, so no apps are needed. Simply click the link you receive to start your video visit in your browser.

After the consultation, you’ll receive an invoice and, if appropriate, an e-prescription via email. Depending on the location, you can show or print the prescription to purchase medication at your preferred pharmacy.

How do I get a prescription from an online doctor?

Following the consultation, if appropriate for your case, the doctor will either email the e-prescription to you or send it directly to the pharmacy. You can then either print it out or show it to the pharmacist when purchasing the medication.

It’s important to understand that doctors must responsibly evaluate each case individually. They can’t simply prescribe medication solely based on a patient’s request or a recommendation from another doctor without confirming that it’s suitable for the patient’s specific condition.

How much does it cost?

Prices vary depending on the provider since they compete to offer you a fair rate. On average, an online doctor visit costs around €25. In-person appointments, specialists, and lab work have different prices depending on the city. When you send a request you can choose the provider that suits you best but there’s no obligation to book.

Keep in mind that the consultation fee doesn’t include medication. The good news is that common antibiotics are generally affordable throughout Europe, usually between €5 and €15.

Are doctors available on weekends?

Absolutely! As soon as you send in your request, it’s instantly received by the doctors who are on duty at that moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s late at night, early on a Sunday morning, or even on July 24th when Kos celebrates the Feast of Agios Christoforos—there’s always someone ready to help. When you get an appointment option, just remember that a real doctor has seen your request and is ready to assist you.

Can I contact the doctor for follow-up questions after the consultation?

You can message your physician with follow-up questions at no additional cost for up to 7 days after the video visit.
