Hello, I'm in my day three and I have the same question. Does it damage the new skin or the regeneration process if I use something to remove the flaking? My scars and pores have improved about 70% and I'm very happy about that. The thing is that I'm having some break outs or tiny red spots and I don't know if that's normal. I've been using Thermal Water from La Roche Posay and Avène Ysthéal + Emulsion.
