Can i use tretinoin 0.025 cream for my dark elbows and underarms? and plus can i also use it at my feet as my feet have dark patches because some months back it had plaster. thank you?

Tretinoin 0.025% cream is safe for use on any skin surface except near the scalp, eyelid, genitals or ears. It works by decreasing skin turnover time and reducing the amount of oils that skin produces. This leads to brighter, fresher looking skin, (and if used on the face) fewer pimples.
