What should I do to help after tca cross 100% done 5 weeks ago and is still red? (photos)

Question

TCA cross 100 % done in 2 ice pick scars before and it healed ok. Now TCA cross done 5 weeks ago, still super red, shiny red marks. I'd like to know what should be done to remove the blood red color since is a new mark. Should give a try hydrocortisone 1% during the night w/ antioxidants and chamomile, Bepanthen oil to moisturizer during the day and manuka honey. Arnica, camelia supplements. I rather start with natural remedies. Aloe vera plant w/ RF would help?Any laser IPL? Pulsed dye laser?

I recommend getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist in order to advise you on aftercare. Sun protection is essential. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This is normal at 5 weeks, redness may persist of 4 months or even longer. Sun protection is the key, and pulse dye laser or IPL can help. For now, the best topical is SPF +++ at least 2-3 times per day. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
