A member asked:

I got prescribed doxycycline and retin a tretinoin if my skin gets dried out do i moisturize it or leave it alone to dry? and if so what moisturizer

RetinA can be drying: It is the retin a (tretinoin) which is drying. You want to be sure you are on a cream or micro-gel, but not the gel formulation. Stop it for a few days, apply 1% Hydrocortisone cream twice a day, then resume the retinoid, starting at every other day.
