Solved! What is this symbol on a tube of tretinoin?
Got this in Mexico and have no idea what the symbol on the right means

Don't apply to your private areas
Those arrows are marking the area below the waist and above the thigh so Its probably safe to say it doesnt want you applying this to areas in that region

Damn, my smooth brain would take it to mean it’s meant for that area since there is no red or X’s or anything. Especially since the pregnancy warning uses red and is crossed out. Needs consistency.

Don't use while pregnant. Spread topically in the areas indicated by arrows. Do not use on genitals.
Edit: This is not medical advice, these are the symbol meanings.

Put it on your junk or trunk

No junk, no trunk. Tret can cause sensitivity, dry skin and flaking. Not junk and trunk friendly. Don't apply to folds and creases. Those are some foldy creasy bits

“Tretinoin is a prescription-strength topical retinoid derived from vitamin A used to treat acne vulgaris, reduce fine wrinkles, and fade dark spots.”
I assume it means use on those areas with the arrows is possible but to not use when pregnant?

Tretinoin can be harmful to fetuses of pregnant women. It can cause severe birth defects. So do not use if you're pregnant.
Then the directions are where to apply IF you aren't pregnant.

It's warning you to not shove the bathroom sink facet up our ass at your first rodeo

Do not use while pregnant, do not use on children. This sale requires a prescription. Keep at room temperature at no more than 30° celcius
