Tretinoin use
I was prescribed tretinoin 0.04% by my dermatologist. I wanted to know how to use it for 1-2 pimples that pop up just before periods. Can it be used for spot treating. And also how to use it to prevent these pimples from coming again on whole face.
Ps- dont have acne prone skin, just one or two pimples before periods.
Have regular periods with no other issue as such(no pcos)
