About my skin
Hello ...
My derma told me to use tretinoin and azelaic acid to treat my pigmentation and blackheads.... Everyone told that pea size amount of tretinoin is enough to cover whole face .... But I am not able to cover my whole face with pea size amount of medication... So I am applying how much is sufficient to cover my whole face... I am using it from 1 month, I am not getting any side effects.... But from 2 days skin start getting peeling on some areas of my skin... It is okay or not ...

Stop it, both are not meant to be used together because they will compound each other's action and cause severe dryness. Please send photos using online consult option for proper treatment

Use plenty of moisturizers and sunscreen. Mild peeling is all right and should come under control of the moisturizer, if not, then you need to reduce tretinoin dose or alternate the 2 creams
