Aziderm Cream is used to treat mild to moderate acne. It works by decreasing the production of keratin (a substance that leads to the production of acne) and killing the bacteria that infect the pores in the skin. Azelaic acid displays bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms present on acne-bearing skin.
Azelaic acid effects the hornification process of the epidermal cells and is therefore able to exert a therapeutically positive effect on the formation of comedones (blackheads, whiteheads) which occur in acne. Azelaic acid is more commonly used in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions. Recently the potential effect of using azelaic acid in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia has been looked at and discussed.
Aziderm Cream Usage
Aziderm is applied once in the morning and evening. It may take up to one month or even longer for the full benefits of using Aziderm to appear. Rub gently the cream into the affected area and avoid contact with the eyes or inside the mouth. After applying Aziderm cream, wash your hands well. It is very important that you keep using Aziderm for the full time of treatment, even if your symptoms begin to clear up after a short time, if you stop using this medicine too soon, your acne may return.
Some of the more common side effects from using Aziderm include:
-
burning
-
tingling sensation of the skin
-
dry skin
-
redness of the skin
-
itching
-
peeling
Precautions
Aziderm is for external use only.
It may take longer than one month before you notice full improvement in your acne even if you use the medicine every day.
You may continue to use make-up while you are using Aziderm for acne. However, it is better to use only water-base cosmetics.
