Azelaic Acid in Breastfeeding

Discussion on Azelaic Acid in Lactation
The current situation of azelaic acid in lactation needs to be studied in detail. Azelaic acid is used in skin care and other fields. However, for lactating women, its safety is of paramount importance.

Numerous studies have been conducted to clarify whether azelaic acid, after being absorbed through the skin, will be transmitted to the infant through milk, and whether it has potential effects on the infant. Although some studies have shown that when it is used topically, the percutaneous absorption is relatively limited, it should not be taken lightly at this special stage of lactation.

At present, although it has not been conclusively confirmed that azelaic acid has clear harm to lactation infants, doctors are mostly cautious. Due to the special physical condition of breastfeeding women, they are responsible for breastfeeding their babies, and they need to be very cautious when taking medication or using skin care ingredients.

Therefore, if breastfeeding women consider using products containing azelaic acid, they should communicate with professional doctors to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of using azelaic acid. Doctors will give appropriate suggestions after comprehensive consideration according to women's individual conditions, such as health conditions and diseases, to ensure the well-being of the mother and baby.
