make an appt with a dermatologist asap. Tazorac is only counterindicatec in pregnancy - otherwise, it a great thing, especially if you have insurance. And buy benzoyl peroxide today - the bottle is cheap and will last you a long time. Make sure though not to overuse it - don't wash the face more than once a day.
I will make an appointment. Another copay for me! Thanks for your help!
