Additional official information
Background{"text":"Azelaic acid is a prescription product used to treat rosacea (unusual redness of the skin). It should not be used by people who are allergic to azelaic acid, propylene glycol or benzoic acid. It may cause skin irritation (itch, burning, stinging, reddening, or scaling), hypersensitivity (swelling of the face or eyes, shortness of breath, or hives) or changes in skin color. Women who are or are planning to become pregnant or to breastfeed should consult with their doctor or pharmacist prior to using azelaic acid. Contact with the eyes and mouth should be avoided, and young children should not touch the treated area because of its irritant effect."}
