Retinoid purge...I hope!

I started a retinoid 2 weeks ago as well as Red light therapy. My skin wasn't bad (usually just big hormonal breakouts) but I noticed early signs of aging (33YO) so wanted to start a retinoid. Chin is inflamed, flaky, itchy and bumpy (small history of perioral dermatitis). I have multiple large breakouts but they don't come to a head, just raise and then go away? Pls tell me this is just a purge and things should get better 🙏🏼
