Hello,
Welcome to healthcare Magic.
Acne is due to your adolescent hormones and you will continue to have it till that hormonal influence is over. It might be 28 yrs or 30 yrs or even 32. Yes, azelaic acid is one of the treatments of acne. In some certain medicines work and others don't. Your doctor is trying a new treatment. Have patience and follow up with him as advised.
Wash your face with a pH balanced face wash, preferably a one containing 1-2% salicylic acid. Avoid cosmetic creams on your face. Avoid too much oil on your scalp. Diet is important. Avoid milk and milk products like cheese, chocolates, sweets, sugary foods and drinks. Eat a lot of fruits rich in vitamin A and drink plenty of water.
Hope this helped
Take care
