A member asked:
It's okay to use tretinoin on skin that has just begun healing from an allergic reaction right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would wait: Tretinoin can be irritating especially the 0.05 or 0.1% concentrations. I would wait until your skin is completely healed. Tretinoin works slowly of months to years so waiting a week or two won't hurt what you're using it for and might save you some additional discomfort.
