I have a very visible pitted acne scar on the side of my nose, any recommendations on possible treatments? Ive tried micro needling and didnt have much luck and am now considering TCA cross.

I feel your pain. I have the same for my nose. I am considering TCA/Phenol cross or excision at the moment. Do you still have oily skin? I heard that might inhibit healing when TCA cross. Also make sure you let it be done professionally as there are risks of widening the pores/scars.

CROSS works well for icepicks...but...I haven't seen it on the nose. Every time I've ever seen before and afters its been on the cheeks/temples. So, this is a good question.

I'd see if you can talk to a pro about this and see before and afters of people who tried CROSS specifically on the nose.

I don't know I have seen cross screw up nose scars on one thread. Just be careful. Maybe a good medium peel or some careful lasering I don't know what's safe on the nose tbh.
