Skin should heal: In the future, please don't put Retin A (tretinoin) on your penis or anywhere besides your face. I would try over the counter triple antibiotic ointment to help heal the burned tender skin on your penis.

Why there?: This is ALWAYS a bad place to apply tretinoin. Strength? Gel or cream? How much? How many times? Just stop using it there, apply vaseline or Aquaphor, give it a week. Do not apply antibiotic!!!!
