I just used tretinoin cream, and after a few minutes, my face started burning, so I quickly washed it off. Now I've got this reddish patch. I'm worried it might turn into brown patches. How should I manage or balance this?

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and my doctor gave me Alaspan tablets for my dry and itchy skin because it's apparently some allergy issue. I noticed that Algo tablets have the same stuff in them but they're cheaper. Do you think it's okay for me to switch to Algo? Also, are there any other cheaper options you could recommend besides Alaspan?
If algo is working for you, you can use it as both are same .
