Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
It seems like you are having open comedones or blackheads, which are basically a type of acne.
Any cosmetics or medication can block the pores and cause acne.

Keep continuing tretinoin gel at night time for few weeks to months.

Use a gentle cleanser for oily skin like cetaphil OS on regular basis.
Drink plenty of water and take fresh fruits and vegetable in your diet.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
