For 5 days I have been using Acnatac gel and taking the antibiotic Tetralysal. Today I noticed local redness and dryness on my skin. It also bakes me a little. What to do in this situation? Should I stop taking the medication for a while? Please advise...

Thank you for sharing your case. The symptoms you notice are the side effects of Acnatac. Retinoids (here: tretinoin) belong to a group of drugs that give quite a number of side effects. They can cause irritation, dry skin, erythema and itching. However, this is not a reason to discontinue the drug. However, preparations with an intense moisturizing effect should be used, e.g.: Cetaphil MD Dermoprotector https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/16827/cetaphil-md-dermoprotektor-balsam-do-twarzy-i-ciala-balsam/apteki?pvid=215500#internetowe Uriage Bariéderm CICA Daily https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/115947/uriage-bariederm-cica-daily-zel-krem-odbudowujacy-krem/apteki Avène Cicalfate Post-Acte https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/25885/avene-cicalfate-post-acte-emulsja-regenerujaca-po-zabiegach-plyn/apteki
