What chemical peel is best for scars on legs, armpit and in between my thigh? (Photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

I would recommend no home peeling agents as I fear you would make the problem worse.  Daily use of sunscreen and a prescription topical skin lightening cream would like be the safest and best bet.  You might seek the care of a board certified specialist in your area.

An in office consultation is really the only way to determine if this pigmentation can be lightened with chemical peels.  You may need a combination of bleaching creams and skin lightening agents to best treat your legs.  Best, Dr. Green
