Aziderm-10% Cream is mainly used for managing mild to moderate acne vulgaris and papulopustular rosacea. It falls under the category of topical medications, which are applied directly to the skin.

In addition to its primary use for acne and rosacea management, it also helps in reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum layer of skin and decreasing the production of keratin and sebum. This unclogs pores and reduces inflammation, thereby improving your skin condition.

Before starting this medication, consult your doctor who can give you advice on the correct dosage and frequency based on your condition. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It's important to continue using the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
