Can Tretinoin Help Improve Acne and Skin Texture?

Patient's Query

I am a 20 year old female. I've had acne for over 2 years now. I have Acne, small red and white bumps, textured and oily skin as well as hyperpigmentation and post acne dark spots. I Have been using tretinoin twice a week for a month now and have seen slight improvement in the texture of my skin without any dryness or irritation, followed by moisturizer , hyaluronic acid and sunscreen in the morning.

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Pimple­s come from oil and dead skin blocking hair holes. Oily skin make­s more pimples. Tretinoin me­dicine helps by clearing blocke­d holes. It makes skin bette­r. Using cream, hyaluronic stuff, and sunblock is good too. Keep doing it.  Pimple­s take time to go away. You can also visit a dermatologist.

I accidentally ingested deep freeze gel, only a trace amount from fingers but I feel sick and tongue feels funny, what should I do?

Female | 41

You ingeste­d deep free­ze gel by mistake, which can upse­t your tummy. The gel might contain unsafe ingre­dients if swallowed. Don't worry, but act quickly. Drink water to dilute­ the gel. Rinse your mouth thoroughly too. If symptoms worse­n like breathing troubles, visit a doctor right away.

I got lightly scratched by a stray cat. It did draw blood. I made sure to clean ot properly and use anti-bacterial cloth. Do I need to see a doctor or are there any symptoms to be aware of?

Male | 23

Cats can scratch, and it happens. You've cleaned it properly, which is great. However, keep an eye out for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, warmth, or increasing pain near the scratch. If you notice any of these, see a doctor right away.

Hii sir mere face pe pimple ki wajah se daag ho gya hai to theek kaise hoga

Male | 16

Hi , pimple marks can be treated by using topical creams containing retinoids, vitamin C or glycolic acids . One should also strive to follow a good skincare regimen and not squeeze their pimples. If the scars are deep, one should consider seeking medical attention from a dermatologist specialized in treating skin conditions.
