Author affiliation: Department of Dermatology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA.

Publication date & source: 2006.02, Cutis., 77(2 Suppl):4-6.

Publication type: Review

Azelaic acid (AzA) is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that has a long and complex history in the treatment of skin disorders. We summarize research on AzA from the past 25 years and follow its progress from a treatment of hyperpigmentation to a therapy for acne vulgaris and inflammatory (papulopustular) rosacea.
