Azelaic acid is a medication primarily used to treat mild to moderate acne and rosacea. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and unclogging pores. It also helps to decrease the production of keratin, which can cause pimples and blackheads.

How is this medication used?

Apply azelaic acid cream or gel to the affected area twice a day, in the morning and evening, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Clean and dry the area before application. Use only a pea-sized amount for the entire face. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Wash your hands after applying the medication.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of azelaic acid include itching, burning, stinging, and tingling at the site of application. Some people may experience dryness or redness of the skin. In rare cases, azelaic acid can cause hypo- or hyperpigmentation. If side effects are severe or do not go away, you should contact your healthcare provider.

What are the potential interactions?

Azelaic acid has few interactions with other medications. However, using other topical acne treatments in combination with azelaic acid can increase skin irritation. It's important to let your healthcare provider know about all the medications and skin care products you are using to avoid potential interactions.
