I've been using Tretin ISO 20 mg for my adult acne since mid-October 2017, based on my doctor's advice. However, in November, my wife became pregnant, though we weren't planning it. I'm feeling a bit worried and am wondering if there could be any risks to my wife's health or the baby's health because I'm taking Tretin ISO. Could taking this medication have any negative effects? Would love to hear some guidance.

I'm really concerned about the number of moles on my face and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them without leaving any scars. Is that possible?

Removing moles without any scars is not always guaranteed, but you can consider using topical creams containing imiquimod or tretinoin to help reduce the appearance of moles. Additionally, laser therapy or surgical excision performed by a dermatologist can also be effective in mole removal with minimal scarring. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific case.
