Rosacea and tretinoin... good or bad? I have orange peel skin texture with extreme sensitivity.

Asked By:rosacea4life in Little Rock, AR

My derm diagnosed me with Rosacea. I have been on metro cream and three different antibiotics. He recently prescribed Tretinoin .025%. I’m terrified it will make my condition worse. I’ve heard it causes swelling and can actually cause the problems I am having now. Have you ever heard of prescribing tret for Rosacea? Do you recommend or should I seek another opinion?
