Retin - A Micro - Breaking out more now? Is this normal?

Hi everyone!

I started my Retin A for the first time on 11/22/10 for acne issues and I have been breaking out more since. I have used every 2 days or every other day with no flaking.

Only had 1 burn on my forehead that looked like I got burned slightly by a curling iron but it went away quickly (I also avoid this area now as I see it is much more sensitive than the rest of my face!)

It seems that my pores are "purging" and I am getting more breakouts? The worst was right at my jawline. That was weird!

Have others had this problem and if so, did it go away? Please Please say this goes away!

I have to go get my haircut but I will check back tonight when I get home to see if anyone responded.

Have a lovely day to all of you!
