Azelaic Acid
Azelaic Acid medication is used in the treatment of mild to moderate acne.
This is applied to the skin as directed usually twice a day. To apply, clean and pat dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer on the skin and massage in gently. Wash hands well after use. Do not use large amounts or apply this more often than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but the chance for side effects may be increased. Use for full course of treatment. Avoid contact in or near the eyes or inside the nose and mouth. If it gets in your eyes wash out immediately with plenty of water and call your doctor if irritation persists. Do not apply any type of dressing or covering over the cream unless told to do so by your doctor.
Azelaic Acid side effects
Slight stinging or burning, itching, tingling, redness or drying of the skin may occur. If these symptoms continue or become severe or if you develop a skin rash, changes in skin color or a worsening of asthma symptoms, notify your doctor. The cream may cause irritation that may be controlled by using once daily instead of twice daily. Consult your physician. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
