Can I apply Retin-A for the hyperpigmentation on my neck?

Question

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD · Answer

Thanks for your question.  It is possible to use retin-a on the neck, but you will want to just use a very small amount to avoid irritation.  Ask your dermatologist if they would recommend anything in addition to retin-a for that area.  Sometimes people need some IPL treatments or other laser treatments to help improve the sun damage, but it depends on your skin type.  You wouldn't want to make it worse by going somewhere that is not as educated on skin care as dermatologists are, so please get an evaluation from a professional before trying too many products on the delicate neck area.  Best of luck!
