Best Treatment for Persistent Redness Following TCA 35% Peel?
I had a TCA 35% over a year ago. Now I have persistent redness in my temporal region. A dermatologist at the Univ. of Iowa diagnosed it as Cholasma/Melasma and gave me TriLuma and sugggested bleaching it. Ive noticed that after a hot shower, the red areas become even more red. Ive read about persistent erythema. Opinions? Treatments?

Redness after one yeal old chemical peel
Time will take care of your redness. The clue is the increased redness after a shower. This is normal after skin has been injuried. The heat from the shower cause the blood vessels in your healing skin to dilate. This should go away in about 9 months. You are most likely a slow healer in this respect and need to give it an additional six months. If it persists see a dermatologist and discuss a possible laser treatment to tone down the redness.
