I want to try microneedling for my PIE acne marks but Im on Retin-a micro and have mild Rosacea, is that a bad idea?

jwilm1989
I have a pretty red blotchy face ever since I started Retin-a micro so I thought it was just a side effect and I still do but my derm diagnosed me with Rosacea. I have red marks on my cheeks and my nose is marked from acne and kindof always red bc I constantly have tiny inflamed acne on my nose. I want to do microneedling to improve everything but is it too risky due to the Retin-A micro and possibility of Rosacea?
