Azelaic Acid (Topical)

Azelaic acid is one of the safest acne and hyperpigmentation treatments you can use while breastfeeding. It's naturally found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Topical application results in minimal systemic absorption, and it's considered compatible with breastfeeding by LactMed and most dermatologists.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
