TAZAROTENE

For those of you who have read my earlier post, I have had yet another outbreak of KP on my forearms. I finally had enough and asked my doctor for a prescription for Tazorac, a lotion containing tazarotene. According to the article found in Sam's post on 25 September, it showed great promise...well I am getting very frustrated and I hope this works. A 30g tube cost me $50 Cdn, but if it works, it will be a small price to pay.

I will keep you all posted.

Okay. A while back when I first discovered this board I mentioned tazorac. It was the first prescription I got from my Dermo. and its WAY expensive. My 30 gram bottle cost me $60.. $90 w/out insurance, and it only lasts for about a month! This is because I have to put it practically over my entire body. After using for 2 months, and spending close to $150, I decided it is NOT worth it. I was using it at night, and then in the morning applying AmLactin, and I believe the amlactin is what actually works the best, because when I stopped using the tazorac, but continued with the amlactin, my skin was just as soft and smooth as it was when I used both.
Spending $60-90 a tube isnt worth it for what it does. I'd say stick with the sulfur soap.. Sorry..

Yes, I'd love to hear how it works for you. I have been using the carmo/sal. acid formula and the sulfer soap for about a month now. I have see A great improvement on my upper arms esp. the backs of them. I have had no luck on my forarms.
The KP seems resistant to all my efforts. the bumps and plugs seem to affect every hair follicle on my hairy arms. If I pick or scratch it gets real ugly. I wonder if anyone else gets it as badly on there forearms.
