[Routine Help] Azelaic acid after stopping epiduo?

hey guys, i’d really appreciate some advice about whether i should start taking finacea 15% azelaic acid. for context, im on holiday for a week and just realised i left my epiduo at home😭 ive been on it for around 2.5 months and im scared that not taking it for this week will make me flare up again/ruin my progress. as it requires a prescription and my parents refuse to take me to a derm as we have a pretty full schedule, im considering using azelaic acid for this week as a temporary way to keep my skin from breaking out. would this be effective? should i try obtain a prescription for epiduo for the week? im really scared when i go back on it when i go home im gonna purge again or that im gonna break out without it
