Tretin 0.025
Hi, actually I have scars on my arm for which I consulted a doctor and they prescribed me tretin 0.025 to apply on my scarful area but yesterday I had a skin scrape and some tretin also got applied on that wound by mistake, my query is what would happen if tretin 0.025 gets applied on open wound as it is said that it should not be applied on wounds?
