Hello

 

The best answer I can give to you is to ask these questions of your doctor.  I can tell you that I use Tazorac cream currently but my purpose is for getting rid of adult acne.  I am not aware of any bad side effects to it but you need to ask your doctor about this. 

 

Did you get any information about Photodynamic Therapy?  If not here is an extensive article about the process.

 

Let us know how it goes.  Thank you for your question.
