If im using retin a (tretinoin) and my face has red spots where the skin is flaking off, will the spots go away the more i use it? thank you.

Too much Retin A (tretinoin)?: One of the symptoms of over use of Retin A (tretinoin) is dryness and flaking and a "wind burn" feeling. You might try a milder strength of Retin A (tretinoin) (0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% are the three available strengths) or mix the strength you have with lotion before applying it or apply it every other night instead of every night. You may find that certain areas of your face are less dry and tolerate more Retin A (tretinoin).
