After TCA Cross 100%, what would be best for my skin? I have seen some improvement. (Photos)

Asked By:LuxHope in Chicago, Illinois

I had TCA Cross 100% done Dec 2017 and have seen some improvement, scars are more shallow but they are still there. I have gone back to using Clindamycin gel in the daytime and Tretinoin cream 0.1 at night 2 weeks after scabs fell off. My skin sloughs off every 2-3 days, and I am not sure if that is interfering with the healing process. Will a series of Glycolic Acid 70% peels help? It will be difficult for me to take multiple days off work so would need something that will have a quicker recovery time.
