It's been 14 days since my treatment but my scars don't seem to be improving.

I've followed all post op instructions from my provider and stayed out of the sun the past 14 days.

My dermatologist performed my first TCA cross 6 months ago and I didn't experience any complications.

This time, she made her physician assistant (PA) perform the TCA cross even though I made an appt with my dermatologist.

Did the PA mess up my treatment?

The PA used TCA 100%

Hmm. Usually the crusts are supposed to fall off within a week or so. Did they fall off and this is what's left?

Also, for sure contact your doc with this question. They should be available for follow up questions. Stay your own advocate and ask away.
