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.
