So, it's been about 3 months since I've attempted Tca cross on my face. The experience is something I completely regret and feel sick over. I let the wounds heal, and hoped for things to get better. Unfortunately, nothing is looking better. The markes first were a white color, then turned into scabs, then turned into lesions, and then sort of healed. They left behind a bright red pigment. As time has gone on that pigment has alomst seemed to become neon, and the marks have now become very depressed craters. I had went to a local cosmetic surgeon, and he gave me no sign of hope. He told me there was nothing he could do, and that I'd have to wait for the marks to fade. It's been three months, and they're only cratering and turning more red. I've also recently been braking out in the areas of the TCA scars. I'm having difficulty treating breakouts and the burns at the same time. Too be honest, I can't even tell you how many course of Accutane I've been on. Presently I've been taking Doxycycline, and topically using Clindomyacin and Differin. It had seemed to be keeing my acne at bay but alas...it has come back. I feel like even more Accutane just might cause more problems. I feel like that's maybe why the TCA damaged my face so much... I'm actually more bothered by the TCA scars than I am the breakouts... I've made ANOTHER app with a cosmetic surgeon out of town. I'm hoping to have CO2 laser therapy done on my entire face... Everything is just becoming pigmented, scarred, broken out, and just looks awful. My ultimate question is, what treatment would be best in making the marks the same color as my skin, and then evening out the craters? I have a total of 7 craters scattered around my face. I've never had issues with acne really scarring my face so it wasn't a 'gradual" building of scars. It was a sudden mass of red craters all over my face. Pretty traumatizing. Trauma I inflicted upon myself. I was even asked to take a leave of absense from work, and my job would call me back so I could "be more presentable". They never called me back.... This whole expierence has really had a negative effect on my life. I would like imput on what I can do NOW do make the scars look better. I'm not looking for answers like "wait". That's not going to help.... :/ I really don't feel like taking pictures of my face.. I'm too ashamed, so I'll just post a link to the old topic I posted. There are pictures there, but the scars look much worse than the pictures portray...
Excuse grammatical errors..... I'm tired..
