I've been using Retin-A 0.05 in the morning and at night for about a month now. I feel like my skin has gotten worse though, even drier and rougher than before. I use a moisturizer twice a day, sometimes use coconut oil or Bio-Oil to soothe inflammation, and I try to drink lots of water, eat healthy, etc. What should I do? Asking before I make a dermatologist appt. Thank you!

It is ill advised to use in this sensitive area because it is drying and irritating. It can be used in a small area and perhaps every other day Intially .
If you want a tattoo removed it needs to be done by laser. If you are using tretinoin on a area with both acne and a tattoo it will not effect the ink which is deeper in the skin.
