Hello I just started using retin-a 0.1%. My question is how long will the peeling, dryness, and burning last? Should I take a break from the cream when I reach 5-6 months or do I just keep on using it everyday? thank you.

Thank you for your question! I would not use Retin-A to treat your indented mark. Seek the advise of a dermatologist. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman Estates Oak Brook
Retinoids like Retin A are prescribed by dermatologists for a myriad of complaints, but acne, aging and discoloration top the list. The strength prescribed is based on your skin and the dose can range widely. Talk to your dermatologist about what strength for your skin.
