“Afraid of How Permanent Damage After a TCA Peel”
Not Worth It
Spent: $100 in Chicago, Illinois
I chose a self administered at home treatment because of the low cost. I am unsure of the outcome because skin is still healing.
I have olive complexion. I did an at home 20% TCA Peel 2 days ago to treat sun damage and fine lines. My skin frosted lightly, I rinsed it off...applied triple antibiotic ointment and lotion.
It turned brown IMMEDIATELY that night. Is it normal for my skin to be so brown so soon after the peel? Did I cause permanent scarring or skin color damage? I am afraid that the skin under the burn will also be brown and look totally different from the rest of my face....please help me! I have Photos!
