Red patch on face using tretinoin cream. Should I stop using tretinoin cream?

Jenny098
Hello dr. I'm using tretinoin cream 0.025 for few weeks now and I noticed that my left cheek has red patch on it and when I touched the red patch it's tight and glossy, shiny at the same time it looks like it's going to peel but not quite. Should I stop using tretinoin cream? And what should I do to make this patch go away? Thank you.
