So I was recently prescribed atretinoin cream for my acne on my face. After a few days of using it I realize that my face was getting a little better, despite having flaky and irritated skin. However, 2 days ago, I woke up to find my cheeks and jawline swollen. Is this a normal side affect, or should I stop using the acne cream?

Dry red flakey skin is normal
Swelling usually isn't a normal side effect, give it a few days and see if it subsides.
