Is my spironolactone no longer working because of the tretinoin?

Asked By:bunsee in Edison, NJ

I was on spironolactone for the past 5 months and it cleared by skin, however the doctor also prescribed me tretinioin this month. I only used it about 3-5 times in the past three weeks and I am breaking out excessively. I have my senior pictures in two week. Will the effects of the tretinoin die down soon and go back to normal. Is my spirononlactone no longer working because of the tretinoin?
