Answers:
I'm guessing your mother used a Retin-A product or similar. The active ingredient, tretinoin, will cause reddening of the skin. Usually the doctor starts with a very low strength with advice to use sparingly at first. Unfortunately many teens want to rid themselves of acne as soon as possible, and over-apply such medications. I suppose some parents are guilty of this, too. I doubt that it is an allergy.
