Can I use tretinoin a cream for acne? I'm 20 year old. And can this cream cause white patches on skin as a side effect?

Yes you definitely can use tretinoin gel on face for pimples (use it in the evening while applying sunscreen in the morning) Don't use tretinoin if you have dry & sensitive skin. It doesn't cause white patches.
