Can a low percentage TCA peel be used on my inner thighs and panty line area?

J
JSBlash03Oct 11, 2017

I have severe discoloration and dark spots/scars on my inner thighs and panty line that have developed over time from shaving and chaffing.Ingrown hairs would form and leave unsightly scars.I am a medium skinned person which makes the dark spots and scars more noticeable.It’s extremely embarrassing for me.I’ve tried different drugstore creams that have slightly lightened the area but did nothing to the dark spots.I don’t think a cream would help years of damage,I want to try something stronger.

It is great you are doing your medium TCA peels and they can be done a day after fillers or even the same day. Wait 2 days after botox to do them and don't waste your money on kybella unless you have money to burn and enjoy pain and are happy with NO results.

I don't recommend applying TCA peels yourself due to the risk of complications. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
