Melazapam is a scientifically-designed emollient cream, containing 20% Azelaic acid which is a naturally-occurring non-toxic dicarboxylic fatty acid found in the skin.
Finacea 15% gel contains azelaic acid as its active ingredient and works to reduce the inflammatory papules and pustules as well as erythema (redness) in mild to moderate Rosacea.

My history and health issues are very complex, but I have always been convinced that retin A laid down the foundation for my developing rosacea. I developed full blown rosacea in August 2000.

A recent exploratory study supports the efficacy and safety of azelaic acid 15% gel in seborrheic dermatitis. Azelaic acid may be especially valuable in this application because of its efficacy in treating concomitant rosacea and acne.
