Question:
I got a TCA peel on my arms about a week ago, but my clothes peeled off the skin?
I got a TCA peel done on my arms about a week ago (25-60% strength) and I was waiting for the exfoliation process to happen on its own - however - during changing some of the skin peeled off to reveal the pink underflesh beneath my skin. It really hurts and I'm not sure how to help these parts heal. I've got a date coming up in a week and a half and I want to get rid of these "scars" by then. Any advice?
Answers:
You should be slathering the treated area with an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or something similar. The raw skin is prone to infection at this stage, it needs protection.
