You have got burn with Retino A. Stop this cream immediately and consult a dermatologist near you. You can consult me online through Practo direct by sending picture of the affected area after payment of online consultation.

Retin- A is topical retinoid which works excellent in situations where it is needed. Sometimes it may cause redness and burning if you are using it in a wrong way or your skin is sensitive. Acne needs proper understanding or you will keep having relapses, which is undesirable.
