Yes, azelaic acid is used to treat post inflammatory erythema but used depending upon the indication (like in acne. But there are some side effects with its use which are commonly encountered by patients like burning sensation, dryness, peeling of skin etc. For that use a moisturizer first and after 30 mints use aziderm. Avoid sun exposure. Thanks.

You can use madam. But I would recommend starting with tretinoin (0.025%). Apply it initially twice a week. Monday and friday. Then after 2 weeks, apply thrice a week. Monday, wednesday and friday. Do this for 3 weeks. Once you are used to tretinoin, then start applying aziderm in the days in between. Starting both can cause irritation or redness. It is also important to apply sunscreen every morning containing at least 30 spf.
