Hello dear. Please don't self treat with tretinoin. Acne and irregular periods point towards PCOS.
We need to do some tests to be sure.
Please visit my clinic in Delhi or schedule an online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment

Acne treatment depends on the stage of ur acne. If u get scars that means you get nodular acne. It needs oral medicines and creams. Also a few procedures like chemical peels and dermaroller etc may be needed. Acne takes atleast 6 to 8 weeks to come under control and get a bit better. Kindly consult online for a detailed approach and treatment.
