Tazorac Chemical Burn

I have been using Tazorac, a topical rentin-A acne cream, for the whole summer. Initially, it was working really well. It was drawing out some of my blackheads and bring them to the surface. My complexion started to clear up. However, towards the end of the summer my chin began to break out a lot and turn really red. At first I thought this was normal, but after talking to an esthetician, I found out the medication was giving me a chemical burn. It was really irritating my skin and it was causing damage. The esthetician told me to stop using tazorac and she recommended some products to heal my skin. I have been following her advice and using the products for over a week now. I can tell that the redness has gone down. I have been told by a few friends that my face looks better. I am going to continue seeing this esthetician on a monthly basis. I really need the monthly facials, and I hope she can help my situation. I blame my self for not consulting a doctor after a few months of using tazorac. I should have checked with a specialist to make sure every thing was OK. I am going to be more careful in the future.

Here is a picture of what my break outs on my chin were looking like. This day was especially bad.
