Brief Answer:
You are allergic to tretinoin and related products

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way.

It's tretinoin which may precipitate an allergic reaction to sensitive persons
So you need not to worry, continue with hydroquinone only and sun screen during day time .
Here, I would like more information for better assessment of the condition like
Since how long you have this problem?
If possible upload me a photograph?
If you have ordered any investigation, please upload the reports.

In my opinion you should start and continue with depiwhite.
Apart from ointment you should wash your face with antiseptic soap or face wash and keep it moist
Have multivitamin supplements

Please write back to me if you have further queries.
Best wishes
