A member asked:
I got a 20% tca peel from my derm. a small piece of skin peeled off early the second day and was left red and rough underneath, will it scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Usually after a skin peel there is full healing. It's best to avoid strong sunlight on the healing area to avoid permanent changes in skin color (use a strong sunscreen)
