A member asked:
I use tretnoin everyday because my dermatologist says to do so, ive noticed no difference whatsoever it keeps on getting red and more pimples and ive been using it for over 6 months now what should i do?

Would follow up with the dermatologist or get a second opinion. Initially may notice increase in pimple but it should stabilize and improve over a month to 3 months https://www.healthline.com/health/tretinoin-for-acne
