Need stronger Rx: The retin a (tretinoin) cream that you are using isn't enough for you. You need to get with your personal physician and add something stronger. A topical antibiotic such as Clindamycin with the retin a (tretinoin) may be sufficient. One medication that physicians sometimes overlook is topical spironolactone. If it's only your nose, very strong rx is probably not needed. Be sure you do not also have rosacea.
