A member asked:
I have some rough penis glans skin & small pimples doctor gave me acretin 0.05% cream. is it safe to use it on genitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is tretinoin, used for ACNE. You do not have acne there. This cream is usually irritating on the face: it will surely be much more irritating on the penis. Seek another opinion, best to see a dermatologist. Meanwhile you can try a standard moisturizer cream.
