A member asked:

Can i use tazorac (tazarotene) on my penis? i'm wanting to impove my skin and hopefully loosen up some of the skin that is tight from my circumcision . that ok ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NOT GOOD IDEA: Tazorac (tazarotene) will make the skin angry and you wont like it and you would be much better off using Hydrocortisone cream (cortaid otc).
