I developed a mild case of shingles on my face. Mostly scabbing now very small marks, never got big blisters, I am on viral meds, soaking in water/white vinegar, cleansing with Cetaphil Bacterial Soap and Moisturizing with Cerave. Is there anything else I can do so prevent scarring on my new beautiful skin.

TCA peels can vary in depth, but do not usually extend past the dermis of the skin. The cheek volume loss is likley not related to the TCA peel. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
In our office, we perform many chemical peels and TCA 15% treatments can be performed at 4 week intervals. I would suggest using a alpha beta hydroxy acid treatment pad such as Melapads once or twice daily in between sessions. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
