A member asked:
I recently had a tattoo done to my upper arm. i have some deep ingrown hair scars in the same area, will tazorac (tazarotene) distort the tattoo in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A fresh tattoo : should be treated like a wound for at least 2-4 weeks, using aquaphor and no irritating products like tazorac (tazarotene) until completely healed. After that tazorac (tazarotene) does change the epidermis so if there is any pigment there it may fade it
