How Veltin Affects Patients
Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that helps regulate the growth, reproduction, and difference of skin cells. It is used to treat acne and damage due to the sun, as well as certain skin conditions such as ichthyosis and keratosis follicularis. Tretinoin is also a type of drug used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
How Veltin works in the body
Tretinoin works to reduce acne by targeting the retinoic acid receptors in the body. These receptors are responsible for the development of certain types of cancer, as well as for retinoid effects on mucous membranes and bones. Tretinoin's exact mechanism of action is unknown, but it seems to work by increasing the shedding of skin cells from the follicle, thereby reducing the buildup of comedones. In addition, it increases the mitotic activity of follicular epithelia, which helps to speed up cell turnover. Tretinoin is also used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia, but it
