User Comments about Tazorac

02 Aug 2012	Dr. Dan McCoy of Dallas prescribed Tazorac for Rosecea which was causing large bleeding sores and enlarged pores on my nose. Tozorac worked perfectly. A soon as a pore indicates it is becoming infected, I immediately place a thin covering of Tazorac on my nose -- and it accelerates the healing! It is pricey but I can say it works just fine, and I recommend it!! —Posted by Jim Mo Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

26 Nov 2011	I have only been taking Tazorac for a short perios of time. My dermatologist prescribed a combination of Tazorac and Clindamycin to treat my acne. I have only been on this medication fo about two months. It appears like there has been a marked improvement, but it is unsure whether or not the acne will stay away. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

23 Jun 2009	Helped get rid of my acne but still have little bit of scars on my face I wish was not there. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
18 Dec 2008	I was considering Accutane for cycstic acne, but thought the blood tests, joint pain and peeling lips side effects were a bit much. This was a last resort recommended by the dermo I was regularly seeing, and I am pleased with it. I've been using it for several years for acne on my face and occasionally on my back as well. I can apply it only where I need it based on blemishes appearing or deal with a problem area breaking out all over and avoid dryer more sensitive areas on my face. While it does not prevent acne, it does lessen the recovery from outbreaks. In the winter I have to use a very mild cleanser and oil-free moisturizer, and it is unwise to apply it on days where skin might be chapped by the weather as it is pretty drying. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
