Is TCA Peel Safe After Cortisone Injection?

Can I have 35% TCA peel (one month later) after I had cortisone injection? I had cortisone injection for treating the inflammable acne last month and right now my acne looks better and I am considering 35% TCA peel in the end of the month.

It will have no impact on your wound healing, and you should do just fine with any peel at any time after a cortisone injection. Just as an aside, we usually do glycolic peels for acne and TCA peels for aging and photodamage. Please clarify... more
