It’s because of tretinoin There is a correct way to apply it Use a moisturiser properly Do not use aloe Vera Wash your face with plain water or a gentle cleanser Avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen

This is due to tretinoin. If applied incorrectly or on the wrong skin type, it can irritate the skin and cause inflammation. Stop tretin use. Apply moisturiser and sunscreen. Take online consultation so that skin can be examined and if any further medication to calm the inflammation is required, it can be advised.
