I have very bad stretch marks on my thighs and decided to do a 40 percent TCA peel to get rid of the stretch marks . Today is day 6 and it hasn't peeled yet . I have been over moisturising with Vaseline and using hydrocortisone and antibiotic cream . It was tender for the first 3 day but the pain has subsided . Please what can I do ? Will it peel eventually? l , please I need help .

Answer: Scabs on the body tend to take longer to heal compared to the face. Possibly might take over 10 days.
