Need a prescription for Soolantra? Here's how to find a dermatologist or doctor who can prescribe ivermectin cream for rosacea near you—including telehealth options.

Soolantra (ivermectin 1% cream) is a prescription medication—you'll need a licensed healthcare provider to prescribe it. If you think you might have rosacea, or if you're looking to switch to Soolantra from another treatment, this guide walks you through exactly how to find a provider and what to expect.

What Type of Doctor Prescribes Soolantra?

Soolantra is not a controlled substance, so it can be prescribed by any licensed provider authorized to prescribe prescription medications in your state. In practice, that includes:

Dermatologists: The most common prescribers of Soolantra. Dermatologists specialize in skin conditions and are very familiar with rosacea treatment options.

Primary care physicians (PCPs): Family medicine and internal medicine doctors regularly manage rosacea and can prescribe Soolantra.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs): In most states, NPs and PAs can diagnose and prescribe for rosacea, including Soolantra.

Telehealth providers: Many online dermatology and general telehealth platforms now offer rosacea consultations and can prescribe Soolantra in applicable states.

How to Find a Dermatologist Near You

Here are the best ways to find a dermatologist who treats rosacea near you:

Use the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Find-a-Derm tool at aad.org. You can filter by location and specialty.

Check your insurance plan's provider directory. Search for in-network dermatologists in your area to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

Ask your PCP for a referral. Some insurance plans require a referral for specialist visits. Your PCP can also evaluate and prescribe Soolantra directly if dermatologist wait times are long.

Search Zocdoc, Healthgrades, or Google Maps for "dermatologist rosacea" near your zip code. Filter by accepting new patients.

Can I Get Soolantra Through Telehealth?

Yes, in most cases. Rosacea is one of the conditions most amenable to telehealth because diagnosis and treatment monitoring can often be done through photos and video visits. Several platforms offer dermatology telehealth where a licensed provider can evaluate your skin and prescribe Soolantra if appropriate:

MDacne, Curology, and Apostrophe — Specialized skincare telehealth services; can prescribe for rosacea in most states

Teladoc, Doctor on Demand, MDLive — General telehealth platforms with licensed physicians who can evaluate and prescribe for rosacea

Amazon Clinic / One Medical — Convenient for minor skin conditions including rosacea; eligible prescriptions can be sent directly to your pharmacy

Note: availability varies by state, and some telehealth platforms may have restrictions on prescribing certain specialty medications. Always confirm before your appointment.

What to Tell Your Doctor When Asking About Soolantra

When you see your provider, being prepared helps get to the right treatment faster. Here's what to communicate:

How long you've had facial redness, bumps, or pustules, and where on the face they appear

What you've already tried (other rosacea treatments and whether they helped)

Known triggers (sun, alcohol, heat, spicy food, stress)

Your insurance situation and whether cost is a concern (so the provider can start the PA process early)

Once You Have a Prescription, Finding It in Stock

After you get your prescription, the next challenge can be finding a pharmacy that stocks Soolantra. For a detailed guide see: How to Find Soolantra in Stock Near You. You can also use medfinder.com to have local pharmacies called on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you do not need to see a dermatologist specifically. Any licensed prescriber—including your primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant—can prescribe Soolantra for rosacea. However, dermatologists are the most experienced with rosacea diagnosis and may be better suited for moderate-to-severe or hard-to-treat cases.

Yes, in most states. Telehealth platforms including Teladoc, Doctor on Demand, Apostrophe, and others can evaluate rosacea via video visit or photo submission and prescribe Soolantra if appropriate. Confirm availability in your state before scheduling, as telehealth prescribing rules vary.

With insurance, a specialist copay for a dermatologist visit typically ranges from $30–$80 depending on your plan. Without insurance, a dermatologist visit may cost $150–$300 or more. Telehealth dermatology visits are often less expensive, sometimes starting around $50–$100.

Bring a list of all current medications and supplements, photos of your skin during a flare if possible, your insurance card, and notes about how long you've had symptoms and what triggers them. If you've tried other rosacea treatments, note the names and how long you used them—this documentation may be needed for insurance prior authorization.
