Everything You Know About Azelaic Acid

Precautions

Azelaic acid isn't right for everyone. Men, you know it's not safe sometimes! It'll make asthma worse, so even if your doc prescribes it? Yes, you know you'll need a lot more monitoring. A lot more! Men, you've got to avoid using products with alcohol in them. Really, you know you've got to stop using products that'll trigger irritation or dry skin. These are just going to make the side effects of this med worse! You don't want that; no one does. Obviously, men, you're going to want to avoid chemical peels and other abrasive things when you're using the gel or foam version of this med.

And that foam? Keep it away, so far away, from open flames, heat, and smoke. You're not going to want to use it near anything like this, men. You know it's flammable! Don't wrap your skin where you apply it either, men. Wait for your doc to tell you that! And yes, some of you are going to need to stay away from alcohol, hot drinks, and spicy things on this med. Sad.
