This is the 4th day of using retina a and just today my skin started burning and flaking in the spots were I applied it. I don't have that much acne but I'm using for the dark scars I get from when I do get a people I read blogs but I'm still confused should I stop using it of it burns!! I noticed on one scar it made it bigger and darker

I hope your not using it every day. To start, only use it every other day or even
every 3rd day. Then as your skin gets used to it,
(about 2 months in ) up it to once a day and that's it.
Retina A can be really hard on your skin. If you have been using
it every day, take a week or two
off to let your skin heal then try again.

For scars, if there not dented ( sorry , that's the best way I can think to describe it )
and just discoloured, I wouldn't even bother with Retina A. Just get a cream for hyper pigmentation.
About $50 from the drug store with out a P/X and less harsh on your skin.
