Hello,
I am being treated for moderate acne. I just have a few questions. I have been taking 500mg amoxicillin twice a day for the past 2 months. Approximately 2 weeks ago, I started using 20% tea tree oil/80% grain alcohol. For the first time in years, my skin is starting to look better.

Just yesterday, I went to the dermatologist, who prescibed another 3 months of the same antibiotic regime, and 3 months of using tretinoin .025%. I only use the tretinoin cream twice a week.

My question is this:

1. Because of the low frequency of use of the tretinoin cream, could I use tea tree oil on the days that I don't use tretinoin?

2. Will I notice any reactions or worsening of my condition with the above combination?

3. Will both of these products work better together then by themselves? Or will they work worse together?

Any input is welcomed!

Thanks,
brad
