Is this purging?

I’ve been using tretinoin 0.025 for 1.5 months. But the first month consisted of gradual introduction that included using tretinoin 1-2x week with sandwich method and then slowly making my way up to every other day sandwich method, etc.

Now I’ve been using tretinoin every night with no sandwich method for the past two weeks. And I’ve noticed these small marks on my cheeks. Looks like dried blood? Is this apart of the purging process? I also scratched a pimple in my sleep and woke up to a popped one that’s been bleeding.

I should mention I’m using dapsone gel 7.5% and clindamycin lotion in addition to the tretinoin.

Thanks in advance.

I hate this job. I feel so burnt out.

I started this job a little over 7 months ago and have started actively looking for another job. I sometimes get imposter syndrome when im working and always feel like I’m the way or I’m not doing a good job. I mostly work weekends so it’s usually the pharmacist and 1.5 techs scheduled. .5 bc one of us only works half days. There’s just so much that needs to get done and I feel so overwhelmed with my work load. When I’m working at the out window, I have to ring up customers, do the deletes, WCBs/CMDs, PCP calls, and answer phones sometimes. It’s sooo hard to do when customers are constantly coming in one by one to pick up their prescriptions. The second I finish ringing up someone and start working on another task, BOOM, another customer walks in. And it’s like that for most of the day. I actually like working at the out window bc I like the patient interactions, but I feel like a terrible technician bc I’m having a hard time keeping up with my workload and I feel like everyone hates me 😃
