A member asked:

Can i still use azelaic acid gel 15% on my face while pregnant?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

This and other such creams/lotions are not absorbed through the skin enough to enter the blood & then effect the baby.

Azelaic acid is class B, meaning you can use if your Ob/Gyn is ok with it. No harm is known from it. Hope it helps.
