Azelaic gel burning/stinging
Have acne marks on my face so a dermatologist recommended me to use azelaic acid gel on the acne spots and trunex gel on entire face everyday. But the azelaic acid feels a little burning on my skin . Also my acne spots seem redder. Should I continue using it or not? I have been using it for last 5 days.
Also should i use trunex gel everyday? This is my first time using a tretinoin. Should i keep it overnight or wash my face after a couple of hours?

You can decrease the contact tume if burning occurs.
Wash face after 20min of application and slowly increase time.
For proper treatment you should consult online with photographs
