I have very bad stretch marks on my thighs and decided to do a 40 percent TCA peel to get rid of the stretch marks . Today is day 6 and it hasn't peeled yet . I have been over moisturising with Vaseline and using hydrocortisone and antibiotic cream . It was tender for the first 3 day but the pain has subsided . Please what can I do ? Will it peel eventually? l , please I need help .
I've scoured websites, videos, and medical journals for information on this question, but found answers only for widespread peels of dilute 30% TCA, but nothing regarding applying 100% TCA CROSS in precise locations of the mature striae indentations. I appreciate the time and consideration of the doctors who answer this question. Thank you.
I used a 25% TCA peel, I've used this before on my skin and it has worked perfectly until now. Day one is when the blotches started from where the frosting was. The instructions said to leave it on for 10 minutes then to add a second layer and to leave it for another 10 minutes. I washed off 3 minutes after the second layer. The photos are second day post peel. It hurts a lot and is very sore. I did the exact same thing to my other thigh and this reaction did not occur. Is this normal?
2 days ago i did a 50% TCA peel on my stomach stretch marks. I have done peels in the past with great results. Right now the majority of my stomach is dry, cracked and peeling looking normal but there is a darker red patch that is not doing anything. It is not dry, cracked... It is smooth like my original skin just a bit red and sore. Pictures are more red than they appear in real life. I am afraid i have scarred my skin. I am not doing anything besides washing with soap and water. No creams.
