I use Tretinoin Cream (.025%) at night and Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion (1%) in the morning for acne. I wash my face first and then apply, but immediately after, my face turns bright red, burns, and then peels almost like a sunburn. I've been using it for a week and the burning gets worse the more I use it. Should I put more time between washing my face and using them?
I used tretinoin gel on my face to reduce acne and to reduce the acne scars. The gel came in contact with the sun. My skin is now peeling. It feels like I have a sunburn and I don't know what to do. Please help me.
I used Tazorac last night and this morning I forgot I had it on and went outside to do a mile run in the sun. Now I have red spots and possible sunburn as it hurts when I try to put moisturizer on to soothe the reddness and irritation. Will the red spots/sunburn all over my face go away? And how will I treat it for it to go away?
I have been using Retin a 0.05% for more than a month and recently my skins appear to have some melasma and redness like the result of sunburn although I use sunscreen every day. My skin looks so dark and the cheeks have some dark marks like hyper pigmentation. My acne has improved significantly but these side effects scare me a lot. Please help me. Will the erythema and hyperpigmentation disappear? What should I do to improve my the hyperpigmentation during the time using it? Thanks a lot.
