I used a retinol and got a very itchy rash on my face. It felt like the rash I get when I use chemical sunscreen , which I am allergic to. But I am reading all about how rare it is to be allergic to retinol and how common it is to have red bumpy skin when you start using it. Is this probably just a normal reaction that will go away or does the itchy quality make it seem like an allergy?
My doctor recommended Retin-A as a treatment for Keratosis pilaris on my arms, I am using 0.05 tretinoin cream for about 2 weeks now, but my condition is much worse, my skin is red, itchy and it's peeling like crazy. What should I do right now? I can't stand this treatment anymore
Ive been using Retin a for 1 month or so, Ive been using it 2-3 times a week for the first 2 weeks and gradually increase it to every other day. My forehead is the worst, my acne was mostly in my forehead but my doctor said to put it on my entire face. My face is currently so fragile, its too tightly painful, so dry and itchy esp at night, I put moisturizer with spf like maniac. How long should i stop purging? Or did I developed irritation from it?

I am experiencing an itchy rash on both sides of my neck which started within days of using Differin Gel 0,1% Adapalene. (I only use it on my face and jawline, not on my neck.) Might I be able to change my routine to alcohol-and-oil-free moisturizer and face wash and the rash will go away or is it more likely that I am allergic? My face handles the Differin gel very well, without a rash. I have not been applying sun screen to my neck and ears since I don't apply Differin Gel in these areas.
Hi, i'm using tretinoin .05% prescribed by my doctor and at the same time benzOyl peroxide facial wash.

I used retinol ointment over my enire cleavage and neck area for 3 days ( day and night) and came out in an itchy, red rash as a result. I didn't expose my skin to the sun at all. It was rainy, and I was covered up completely. Neck is clean but the whole cleavage, also breast are covered in red tiny spots. I stopped using the ointment, and resumed regular skin care routine. Is the rash going to disappear eventually?
