June 10, 2017
Asked By:chemay in Delaware, DE

Hi, i'm using tretinoin .05% prescribed by my doctor and at the same time benzOyl peroxide facial wash. I have some clogged pores around my jaw and neck that's why my derma told me to use tretinoin every day but today is my 5th day and i'm experiencing redness, itchiness, red patches and red bumps. Is this normal? should i stop the bp and continue the tretinoin? I'm scared that If I stop the tretition, it might take so long for it to work. I have this clogged pores for a yr. i'm so sick of it. Pls help
