TCA Peel for bumps caused by facial hairs?
I've had these bumps for a couple of months now. I've used many acne scrubs and treatments, but none seem to be working. I think they are caused by facial hairs. In a couple of days I'm thinking about trying a TCA peel 12.5% to see if it helps. Please help me. I'm light skinned African American and do suffer from razor bumps and ingrown hair. But these don't seem like razor bumps nor ingrown hair.
