Can I use a clay mask after a TCA peel? Also looking for tips on acne and PI hyperpigmentation. (Photo)

Asked By:sharkiepie04 in Atlantic City, NJ

I got a TCA peel two weeks ago in the hopes that it would help fade my PIH that I had been struggling to fade for about two months with hydroquinone 2% (which worked before) to no avail. The doctor diluted a 50% solution, though I don't really know what percentage it got reduced to. Suffice to say, it didn't work and it even made me purge. I heard clay masks can help with acne, so I was wondering if it's safe for me to use after the peel. Tips for my PIH would also be appreciated. Thanks!
