Retin A left me with skin discoloration

[LIBRAHONEY08]

I used Retin A Micro .1% for 3 weeks and it made me peel SEVERLY around and under my chin and sometimes my chin would sting. Now I have stopped the Retin A Micro, but I have skin discoloration around and under my chin. How do i get this to go away and will it ever go away or is this discoloration permanent??

Hi,
When you first start using this medicine it may cause temporary stinging or a feeling of warmth in the skin. When used correctly, it will usually make your skin slightly red, like mild sunburn. You shouldn't use the medicine any more frequently than directed by your doctor, as this won't make it any more effective or work any quicker. It may also make your skin very red or irritated or start peeling.
If you get any severe redness, swelling, itching, burning sensations, blistering, crusting or peeling of your skin after using the medicine, you should apply the medicine less frequently or stop using it temporarily.If your skin is sunburnt you should not use this medicine until your skin is fully recovered, as it may potentially cause severe irritation to the skin.

I recommend that you stop using it completely, it may take a while for the skin to return to its normal color but wait it out and don't apply any other medication onit.
You can think of using another substitute when it is healed completely.
