So the two people that are currently using Tazorac.. Healing_Ways and Blue Magoo.. have you guys noticed any major difference as in on the route of completely curing this? Blue Magoo, i know you said you are applying it 3 times a day instead of twice to speed up the process, has the process sped up? And Healing_Ways, have you noticed any difference eventho you've been applying the less concentrated ointment?
I have only been applying Zorac 0.5% twice a day for a few weeks so was going to leave it for a bit longer to draw any conclusions. However, Ive noticed that a fissure on the tongue has healed after using it and overall, the tongue coating is thinning out but it is happening quite slowly. It could be due to me only using it twice a day and it not being the full 0.1% or other factors.
I find it difficult to avoid tongue brushing as suggested because I find scraping does not do a good enough job. The results I have seen give me enough confidence to order a 60G tube of 0.1% though. I only have 15g right now.
I don't know how much difference going from 0.5% to 0.1% will make and whether that's why the improvements have been slow and gradual rather than drastic. I guess it will vary due to severity of the problem anyway.
