A member asked:
Oily skin, prone to blackheads molescum contageous as well. when is it best to start retin-a treatment? it's getting warmer now. hot or cold months?

Sunscreen Important: It is not so much the season that is important. Be sure and protect your skin with sunscreen as it will be more prone to burn. The retin a (tretinoin) will unfortunately not resolve the molluscum contagiosum warts, however. Those will eventually resolve on their own. May take 18 months.
