My skin is combination and acne-prone. I often experience breakouts. In my previous skincare routine, I used Epiduo as a spot treatment. Recently, I started using a retinol serum (I Renol) every night for the past 20 days. During that time, my skincare routine included: 1) Dacne face wash, 2) Excela moisturizer, and 3) a photostable gold sunscreen. At night, I applied retinol.
Recently, I noticed my skin becoming irritated, itchy, red, and developing tiny bumps. My skin texture has also become rough. As a result, I have stopped all these products.
Currently, my skincare routine is: 1) Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, 2) CeraVe Moisturizer, and 3) UV Doux sunscreen. I am also using a corticosteroid cream containing Desonide 0.05% to reduce itching, which I plan to stop after two weeks or earlier .
Can you advise if this routine is appropriate for my current skin condition? Would it be better to switch to Cetaphil Dam instead of CeraVe?

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
No need to worry.specific treatment is available.it depends on severity of the disease . Complete medical history is required..
Pls do online consultation with Dermatologist for detailed prescription & guidance.
