Retin-A micro spot treatment

Dear Acne. org community
I have currently stopped accutane for about 2 months however i have severe scarring so my derm prescribed retin-A for post-acne and little improvement of my scars.

I was just wondering if Retin-A can be used as a spot treament? Can i just put retin-A on my cheeeks where my scarring is the worst? I have no acne scars from the mid nose up.

I read somewhere that if you spot treatment retin-A on certain places it will have a color difference than the places you dont apply. Is this true?
