I have hyperpigmentation around my eyes and mouth. My doctor had earlier prescribed me aziderm 10% for my acne spots. Can I use aziderm for my dark circles as well? Is it safe to use in the under eye area? And if so, how and when should I apply it?

Aziderm 10% contains azelaic acid which can be beneficial for treating hyperpigmentation. However, it is not typically recommended for use around the delicate under eye area. For dark circles, it is better to use a specific eye cream or gel that is formulated for that area. You can consult with your doctor or dermatologist for a suitable recommendation for treating dark circles.
