What would you do? 3 PS, 3 different answers. 2 of 3 said an excision will fail but the other one says it's a piece of cake. Not sure what to do. TCA seems risky but so does excision. Help!

Please upload a photo as there is no way for us to give any advice without seeing your condition. It may be that you need medical and not cosmetic treatment. I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.
Laser therapy may be an excellent option for the scars on the face caused by chemical burns. Our office specializes in scars and we would also recommend topical therapy with Plato's Scar Serum.
Please see a cosmetic dermatologist with surgical experience. Based on the location and size, you look to have a hypertrophic scar and will need steroid injections +/- laser treatments to make it better. Often if they dont improve after 3-4 treatments I offer surgical removal....
