I am using tretinoin on my face. can it be a cause for hairfall that i am experiencing. i use about a pea sized tretinoin gel daily before sleeping.

Not likely: Haven't heard of tretinoin (used for acne) causing hair loss or baldness. Hair loss is more likely familial (any other people in the family have hair loss at the particular age?) or may be due to hormonal causes. A primary care doctor can evaluate, if the hair loss seems unusual.
