I have some acne scarring from boils in the past that have left indents, is a 20% TCA peel right for me? (Photo)

mrs.torres
I want to do an at home tca 20% peel. I want to know if I can do a section of my face at a time? Since it is so painful. I wanted to start with a 20% since I have a lot of scarring...I am nervous about doing this but I am doing my homework and I will have all the necessary products needed for aftercare.. I want to know if I can do sections of my face at a time. Also do you think a 20% tca peel is the right choice for me? Thanks so much!
