Aziderm 20% Cream is used to treat acne (pimples), including blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed spots. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing azelaic acid, and belongs to a class of medicines called anti-acne agents (dicarboxylic acids).
This medicine is also used to manage mild to moderate papulopustular rosacea, a skin condition that causes facial redness with small, pus-filled spots. It is for use on the skin only. Clean and dry the skin, apply a thin layer to the affected area as your doctor directs, and keep it away from your eyes, mouth and nose. Improvement may take a few weeks, so keep using it for as long as prescribed.
Washing your face gently with a mild cleanser, using oil-free (non-comedogenic) cosmetics and moisturisers, and avoiding picking or squeezing spots can help your skin heal. If you have rosacea, avoiding known triggers such as hot drinks, spicy food and strong sunlight may help reduce flare-ups.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma, sensitive skin or any allergies, and about other skin products or medicines you use. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you notice changes in skin colour, severe irritation, or signs of an allergic reaction. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
