Applying Tacoderm 0.1% Ointment may cause mild to moderate skin irritation, including burning, itching, redness, warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash at the application site. These side effects usually subside within a week. Treatment also increases the risk of inflamed or infected hair follicles, cold sores, acne, and generalized herpes simplex infections.
