Asked for female, 45 years old from Mumbai

I have started using tretinoin 0.5 a month back. I use it every alternate night followed by a thick moisturizer. However, I have started noticing peeling on my forehead and nose area. Should I stop using it? What needs to be done? Please advice.

Dr. Sejal Chandak Khandelwal91%(58 ratings)

MBBS, MD Dermatology

Dermatologist•Nagpur

Hi
tretinoin 0.5%is a strong retinoid and it can cause peeling in some. However, it is the first and best topical cream indicated for acne. I suggest to shift to a lower percentage of retinoids like 0.025%percent and apply moisturizer before and after it. And avoid facewash for 3 days to settle your skin.

Asked for Female, 22 years old from abuja

I am 22 years old since I started menstruating its always been irregular, iâm not a virgin and I thought this would change when I start having sex, but its been the same. Most times I menstruate consecutively for 5 months and it doesât show up in the remaining months and vice versa. Other times I skip a month or two till the end of the year. My major concern right now is that I'm naturally a hairy person and have hairs all over my body. I had vellus hair on my face and I had to wax them, but it hurts badlyâ¦i switched to hair removal creams which I've been using for the past 4 years and my hair has become thick now and grown within a space of 2 daysâ¦i have stopped the use of depilatoriesâ¦i just started using dermaplaner and an ipl I got, but iâve not seen any positive result because my hairs grow really fastâ¦iâd like to know if thereâs anything I can do to stop the hair growth.
