TCA Peel on face with seborrheic dermatitis? Dos and don'ts during the down time?

Question

Hi i am about to perform a at home tca peel and I have done my research and I am completely comfortable with the procedure and I know the risks. But is it safe if I have Seborrheic dermatitis? Will I able to sweat during the week I plan for the down time of 1 week? I will be using a 30% peel. My main goal is to get rid of a deep cut/scar on the right side of my cheek its about 1 cm in length, very visible. I understand hyper pigmentation risks as well being that I have brown skin, (100 % ok)

I suggest you see an expert, sometimes lasers are better than peels for dermatitis on the face.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If you aim is to move or reduce the scar on your right cheek, I suggest you see someone versed in scar revision, this means sometimes lasers, surgery, subcision, or fillers maybe safer and give you a better result than a superficial to medium depth TCA peel. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aestheticsBrisbane, Australia.
