Hi there. I am using tret 0.5 for 2 months now (1 x week then 2 x week) now I am on my 3 month just been few days. However, in the past 2 days, when I apply sunscreen in the morning, my skin feels burning. Am I doing something wrong? I am so concerned and I have a sensitive skin to begin with.
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 am about on my second week of using epiduo, I recently just gradually starting to use it on a daily basis instead of every other day due to that I thought my skin would be able to handle it. As I was washing it off it became relly sensitive and it has cause a burning sensation that I couldn't bare. I would have my face in the freezer. Now I have this scaling/peeling effect on the bridge of my nose. I would exfoliate it with a cold rag and its gotten worse. It seems like it wont go away.
I've been though all the flakey skin tightness burning skin looked horrible!! It started sorting it's self out as been nearly 4 weeks and now it's gone really red and not sure why the only thing different is I've but makeup on last few days and not had it on since using it do you think this could be irritating it? Are you not meant wear makeup! It looks like I've been sunburnt on my face
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?
Chemical burn on tongue maybe? I started using Retin-a and didnt have any redness or flaking, but I woke up one morning and the corners of my mouth are tight and cracked. The worst is that I suspect it migrated into my mouth overnight because for the last four days my tongue has been burning and nothing helps it. Could It be the culprit or part of perfect storm with chronic dry mouth? My tongue isnt patchy or coated so fairly certain it isnt thrush. Ive also had neuropathy for two years and never had a burning tongue.
I got side effects like burning,itching type of peeling skin.It is really looking bad as a brownish patces over my cheeks! How can i get rid off? Shall i use any mosturizer?
I have been using Ziana for about 4 years now along with NIA24 products. My skin was pretty clear, no acne. A few months ago my face started breaking out slightly, and the dermatologist prescribed Retin-A Micro .08 - the first 3 weeks were fine, 4th week my face started burning, itching excessively, peeling a ton. I'm wondering if I should just stick to the Ziana and use the Retin-A Micro just once week, would that be OK? I'm using it more for anti-aging, not really for acne.
