  5. Hi, my doctor recommended using Aziderm cream for black spots on my face. Ive been applying it as instructed, but after a few minutes, I start feeling a burning sensation. Is this normal, or could something be wrong with the cream? What can I do to get rid of the black spots without causing irritation?

The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. Some options include Melalite cream, Kojivit gel, or Retin-A cream. These creams can help lighten the dark spots and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
