Dentists Prescribing Retin A

Hi All, Maybe a stupid question here, but I recently had a patient ask me if I could prescribe Retin A for acne scarring..just curious is this something we as dentists can do? It is topical and it is usually used on the face...I’ve personally also had it prescribed to help with acne scarring(by a dermatologist). FWIW I am a practicing dentist and I’m pretty strict about sticking with antibiotics and pain control prescriptions, but this patient’s request got me thinking. Thanks so much!
