Alternate safe medicine available... depends on the grade...Acne or  pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please  send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Using tretinoin is ok only if it's prescribed , watch for any redness or irritation , if so discontinue. Use it at night only , when not handling the baby. A detailed skin analysis is required as you have dull and acne prone skin , for prescribing medicine and tropical application. You can have an online consultation or visit the clinic. We are open at Malad , Andheri , Khar.
