Hi, first post..

Went to see dermatologist for unrelated issue. Mentioned to him that no matter where I squeeze my face stuff comes out. White or yellow usually. Sometimes comes out kind of "stringy". More so on my cheeks, temples, between eyebrows and definitely on my nose.

He had his nurse write down some info for me and she wrote as he was talking that to help get rid of this "gunk" to use Tri-Retinol and apply a pea sized amount at first and then work up from there.

Like I said, she wrote this down on a piece of paper and I don't know if I was supposed to buy it from the front desk or what but they never mentioned it and I forgot to ask. It says a specific price ($58.58), so that's what makes me think they intended for me to buy it there.

Question is: Anyone here familiar with Tri-Retinol to help with this gunk that comes out of my face everywhere? Experiences? Should I contact his office and ask where I was supposed to get it? Or can someone recommend?

Thanks a ton!

You should call the doc's office and ask the nurse to please explain her note. You should not have to guess at the treatment. Sort of sounds like they are prescribing tretinoin (retin A).

OK thanks. The note says "Tri-Retinol $58.58."

Was also just wanting to know if anyone else has been advised to use this by a dermatologist (or anyone, really)? Or are there other products that are more common for this..

But, thanks for your reply!
