Asked By:_victoriaaaap in San Diego, CA

My boyfriend had to get three little dotted tattoos removed to join the Army but when he went to laser treatment it didn't really do much. He bought 80% TCA and applied it to the three dots and I want to speed up the healing process. What can be applied to help it heal faster ?

Is a TCA 20% peel considered light or medium?
Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

The concentration of a chemical peel is only one factor influencing depth. The number of passes of the peel can change the depth of the peel. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Light white patch two days after TCA peel. Is this normal? (Photo)
Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

There is a finite risk of rebound hyperpigmentation after your peel. I would prep the skin and apply Melarase creams twice daily. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I'm using a TCA peel for keratosis pilaris on triceps. Should I be using a moisturizer to help with the process?
Jason Emer, MD says:

TCA peels can work over time to improve the keratosis pilaris but only lasers in my experience have improved the area long term.  Glycolic and lactic acid creams work daily for softening.  Often there is no cure, but only improvement with all modalities.  Best, Dr. Emer.
