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.
