Target of azelaic acid (4)

I believe the answer is:

acne

(Other definitions for acne that I've seen before include "Skin problem, mainly of teenagers" , "Skin disorder" , "Youthful problem" , "Teenage spots" , "Skin condition associated with pimples" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
