I've been using Tazorac 0.1% Gel for about three months now to treat my psoriasis. It's been a game-changer in terms of reducing inflammation and controlling skin cell growth. I apply a thin layer to the affected areas once a day, usually in the evening as recommended. However, I've experienced some side effects that I wasn't fully prepared for. I've had some skin irritation, including burning and dryness, which can be quite uncomfortable. I've also noticed some redness and peeling, which can be a bit embarrassing. I've read about the urgent side effects, like allergic reactions, but I've been lucky to avoid those. I'm curious to hear from others who have used Tazorac—what side effects have you experienced, and how have you managed them? Has anyone tried other topical treatments before switching to Tazorac, and if so, how does it compare? Let's share our experiences and tips to help each other out.

I've been struggling with psoriasis for a while now and my dermatologist recently prescribed Tazorac 0.05% Gel. I've read about some potential side effects like skin irritation and burning, so I'm a bit hesitant to start using it. Has anyone here used this medication and if so, what was your experience? Did you stick with it or did you switch to something else? I'm really hoping it helps, but I don't want to deal with severe side effects. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
