Aziderm Cream is utilized for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. It functions by reducing keratin production (a substance that contributes to acne formation) and eliminating the bacteria that infect the skin's pores. Azelaic Acid possesses both bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties against various aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms found on acne-affected skin.
Azelaic Acid influences the keratinization process of the epidermal cells, thereby positively impacting the development of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) associated with acne. Azelaic Acid is predominantly employed in treating acne along with other skin conditions. Recently, the potential role of Azelaic Acid in addressing androgenetic alopecia has been explored and discussed.
Aziderm Cream should be applied once in the morning and in the evening. It may take up to a month or longer to see the full effects of Aziderm Cream. Gently massage the cream into the affected areas, and ensure to avoid contact with the eyes or inside the mouth. After applying Aziderm Cream, thoroughly wash your hands. It is crucial to continue using Aziderm throughout the treatment duration, even if your symptoms begin to improve quickly, as discontinuing it prematurely may lead to a recurrence of acne.
Common side effects of using Aziderm Cream include: burning or tingling sensations on the skin, dryness, redness, itching, and peeling.
Aziderm Cream is intended for external use only. It may take longer than a month for you to notice significant improvement in your acne, even with daily use of the medication.
You may continue to wear makeup while using Aziderm Cream for acne treatment, although it’s advisable to use only water-based cosmetics.
