My forehead is very waxy and has small colorless bumps and red irritated acne. I tried over the counter acne products, Prescription acne products ( Ziana and Retinol A), and wash my face morning and night. Im currently using Retinol A, it has been a little over two months. It seems like it doesnt want to go away. Should I see a different dermatologist? Does anyone have a suggestion on acne products that work great?
I have acne on my cheeks and chin. I have been using Tretinoin .1% Cream with Cetaphil foaming cleanser and Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion. Theyre the only products that dont make my face burn while using the tretinoin. I have been using all 3 of these for about 5-6 months. The acne has not gotten better and my skin continues to peel.
I have been using tretinon 0.05 for 6 weeks every 2nd night and have been extremely flaky. I started every night last week and still flaky especially around my chin and mouth. My cheeks and forehead are feeling good. I have only been using pea size and very light on my chin. Will this eventually go and should I continue. The reason for using was to reduce pores and orange peel look.
Hi! I recently started using Tretinoin. I wasnt aware that waxing while using a retinoids can be harming for the skin. After my first wax after starting retinoids I have abrations around my mouth and chin. Extremely painful and red. Please be kind enough to advice me on how to treat these abrations to minimize scarring and discoloration. And how can can I avoid it in the future. Thank you very much
I am 40 year guy, I just started with twice a week retin A(0.05%, buffered with Cetaphil moisturizer). The main problem is that I get sebaceous Filaments in chin area, which fade away after 4-5 days if I not reapply retin A. Is there any recommendations to avoid sebaceous Filaments?
Hi, I have used tretinoin for over 6 months to help with the wrinkles. I have used it at night, and sunscreen during the day even though I live in New England (USA) and winter days are grey and short. The last two weeks, I have developed a rash on the chin area that is spreading above the lip and cheeks. It looks like tinny red bumps, kind of acne but tinny. Is there anything you would suggest? Thank you.
I have been using tretinoin .025 cream for about 13 weeks now and am experiencing a bad breakout on my chin and lower cheeks. I go through phases where my skin is completely clear for about a week and then end up breaking out again. Is it typical to still have a breakout so far in or should I consult my doctor for a different approach?
