A member asked:
Does using a tretinoin 0.05 cream for a month, every 2 days, affect the menstrual cycle ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Application of this topical to surface skin as described does not penetrate skin deeply enough to enter the blood in a significant amount. As such it does not affect any medication or natural hormone involved in the menstrual cycle.
