Azelaic acid gel is simply to use! Apply a little gel to the affected area. Make sure the skin is clean and completely dry. Rub it gently but make sure it goes completely into the skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other areas of sensitive skin. Before using any other product over the treated area, make sure the product has completely dried.
Azelaic acid gel contains Azelaic Acid (15%) as active ingredient and Benzoic Acid, Carbomer, Disodium Edetate,Lecithin, Polysorbate 80, Propylene Glycol, Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as inactive ingredients.
The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when using Azelaic acid gel. Minor ones include skin dryness, itching, redness, mild burning, or worsening of acne. Those effects will decrease with continued use of the medication. Also, rarely this medication can cause discoloration of the skin. Dark-skinned people may notice a lightening in skin color in the area where you use this medication. If you experience skin discoloration, STOP the medication and tell your doctor.
The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but STOP the medication and seek immediate medical attention (call 911 or go to the ER) if you experience any of the following symptoms: rash, itching, blistering, severe burning/swelling of the skin.
Azelaic acid treats mild to moderate acne. It works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and by helping to keep your pores open and unblocked, decreasing the number of acne pimples.
