So I am using Tretinoin .1, I'm on my 6th month I'd say, well anyways, I also use Acanya (2.5 benzoyl and clindamycin) in the morning.. Well, I had this HUGE zit on my right cheek, and so instead of using tretinoin, (even though a little bit may have come in contact) I used the Acanya as spot treatment, now, today, One week later, I have a huge flat circle around what should be a tiny mark now.. why is this? What can I put on it to heal?? I've been leaving it alone and moisturizing with cera ve but nothing is working! Please help (its the big red mark

awwww.. it's honestly not THAT bad. ive had plenty of those before.. what usually worked for me was just time and some aloe vera. you really can't rush these things. also, you could try a bit of lemon mixed with water. good luck and don't worry, it could be worse!
