What are the benefits and usage recommendations for Azelaic Acid?
Azelaic Acid is a gentle, naturally-occurring acid, less harsh than AHAs/BHAs, making it suitable for easily irritated skin. It kills acne-causing bacteria, calms redness and inflammation, fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and doesn't wreck the skin barrier. It can be used day or night, but in the morning if retinol is part of your routine. Patients dealing with rosacea, redness, post-acne marks, or sensitive skin may find it beneficial. A provider can help determine the best percentage strength to start with, but over-the-counter, look for 10% strength. Start a few times a week and gradually increase to daily use. It might outperform other products for 'red, uneven, reactive' skin.

What is Earlobe Rejuvenation?
Earlobe rejuvenation is a quick, practically painless procedure that instantly provides a more youthful look. The ears are often forgotten in aesthetics but can age a person quickly.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$50,306

Payments

136

Compared to peers

Substantially above average

Dr. Mona S. Foad received $50,306 across 136 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
