Would I still be able to have a hetters peel after a bad Obagi TCA peel 6 years ago? (photo)

Asked By:Bellezza in Scotland, United Kingdom

The surgeon who did my peel allowed it to go so blue he even called people into the room to see! As a result I developed some hyperpigmentation and some atrophic like streaks that are only visible if I pull my skin in certain directions. I have fine, thin skin. I use Obagi Nuderm and its OK, but for increasing creepiness would like to do a hetters in 18 months. Will I still heal OK after this? Also, on my body only I develop hypertrophic scars. Do I sound a potential candidate?
