ORIGINAL POST

Did TCA Cross 4 Months Back Still Having Dark Patches Is It PIH or Scarring

Generous0528
I had tca cross 4 months back by certified dermatologist but still I am having dark patches/demarcation on face where tca was performed. Not sure is it scarring or PIH. Dr has prescribed sunscreen spf 50+, moisturiser, epithelial Ultra AH and Vitamin C + zinc tablets. No improvements so far. I am afraid to do any peeling or laser procedure now. Please suggest topical/creams to get rid of these dark marks immediately and to get my normal skin.

TCA scarred me too i’ve been doing ipl laser to get rid of the redness but it seems like it even left indentations where it was placed. i’ll probably end up doing microneedling too
