A member asked:
Can i use both finacea and azelex (azelaic acid) interchangeably if i have rosacea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rosacea treatment: Both finacea and Azelex (azelaic acid) are the same medication Azelaic Acid in different concentrations and formulations. I would recommend only taking one or the other at a time for treatment of rosacea.
