I've been using azelaic acid since the past 1 month for comedones and they've reduced around 50% how long can I continue to use this to get rid of all whiteheads and comedones?

Whiteheads, Acne or  pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please  send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

You can use it for 3 months if you are tolerating it well. However, azelaic acid alone may not suffice Additional treatments may be required which will need proper assessment You may consult for further advice

Please take an online consultation so that a detailed history can be taken, including if azelaic acid the only active ingredient you are using ? Clinical images will also help determine if any other ingredient is required.

Hello maam. Azelaic acid as such is not the right drug for whiteheads and comedones. Kindly share pictures and do an online consultation so that you will be guided properly with your skin care routine.
