Hello peeps,I'm a new user who has been a long time lurker as well. I'm currently 22,indian with a fair skin tone and naturally dry skin. I never had any cystic or pustular acne but had these small skin colored bumps on my cheeks which are called closed comedones I think. So initially I used differin 0.1% for 3 months which helped me get rid of most of them and also made my skin healthy. But I became greedy and directly jumped to retin-a 0.05% and used it for a month which gave me horrible peeling due to which I reduced it to a .025%. Now after using it for 2 weeks,I checked my face and found that my skin tone has changed across my face. There are patches of skin that are darker in color than the rest of the areas and also my skin is more fragile and gets injured easily if I try to prick out the sac of a closed comedones. My forehead is shiny but my rest of the face is dull,dark and repulsive. I had a couple of scars which were not noticeable but now they seem darker. They're scars and not Pih and they seem darker.. seriously fuck my life. I love a girl soo much and she means everything to me but I cannot be my confident self around her.. my shit face makes me lose my confidence that I will require to woo her.. please help me. Will stopping every topical and letting my skin be heal it and give it the even tone I had.. please help me I'm crying right now
