What Causes Brown Blotchy Spots Around The Cheeks While Using Retin-a?
I ve been using Retin-a 0.1% for about 5 weeks. I ve noticed brown blotchy spots on my cheeks that weren t there before and have been getting worse since starting this medication. Is this a known side effect? Should I stop using this or continue and hope it doesn t get worse.
