Should you let your skin scab after a TCA cross?

September 29, 2018
Asked By:cambaleando in London, GB

Feels like I’ve read conflicting information about this. What is the ideal way to go? Wouldn’t people be prone to further scarring from scabbing if they have thin/scar prone skin? I’ve been keeping my wounds wet with vaseline and aloe vera this time around, but I’ve let them scab naturally the past 3 times I did cross. When I ask about aftercare, my doctor just says “nothing.”
