The Versatility of Azelaic Acid in Dermatology

    Tamara Searle, Faisal R. Ali, Firas Al‐Niaimi
    TLDR Azelaic acid is safe and effective for treating rosacea and other skin issues.
    Azelaic acid was found to have multiple dermatological applications due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, with the strongest evidence supporting its use in treating rosacea. It was also used off-label for melasma and acne vulgaris, though with less robust evidence. The review indicated weaker evidence for its effectiveness in conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, keratosis pilaris, and male androgenic alopecia. Overall, azelaic acid, whether used alone or in combination with other treatments, was considered a safe and well-tolerated option for various skin conditions.
