Started using tretinoin for mulluscum. i became inflamed and irritated, and it's still spreading. i got spooked and stopped using it. at first i thought this was the mulluscum, but now i don't. does this mean i have an allergy? or will it get better?

Diagnosis needed: A visit to your pediatrician or urgent care will be needed as a firm diagnosis will be needed. All meds for molluscum will trigger an inflammatory reaction in general. Alternate diagnoses may be possible as well. If indeed molluscum, most get better by themselves, but it takes months.

Hello, I have had my left eye watering constantly for perhaps a week now, and wiping away tears/discharge has now irritated the skin around my eye. Also, it has been painful to press on the inside corner of my eye for quite a few weeks, and I am unsure if this is related. I thought this could be allergies as my head does feel stuffy intermittently, but my new red eye socket (not the eye itself) has motivated me to ask. Thanks, Logan Left Eye Watering?
