 Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2008 7:25 am Post subject: HELP PLEASE! skin damaged after TCA peel |
 |
|
| I did a TCA trichloroacetic acid peel to remove my tattoo but by mistake i was exposed to direct UV rays almost immediately following the peel. The areas that were exposed turned into a darker brownish purple and feels a lot more bumpy than the areas that were not exposed. The unexposed areas seem to be peeling but the exposed areas do not seem to be doing the same. Will it go away? do I need to see a doctor what should I do? |

| By 'exposed to UV' you mean you went out or what? I don't think that can cause significant change in the outcome of a TCA peel so you will have to wait one week for the result. I've never done one but the skin is supposed to turn crusty brownish and peel in a week. |
