Does it look like a burn or just hyperpigmentation? Amlactin has always been great for when I had hyperpigmentation issues.

my ice pick scar scabbed up after the tca cross but its been red for a month so ?? im unsure what it really is

Does it feel tender when you touch it or does the texture of the skin appear different than normal skin? If not I'd assume it's just hyperpigmentation.

feels like normal skin but so far my overall complexion is getting lighter meanwhile my ice pick scars are red inside only i really dont know whats going on or what to do now

edit: its only red inside the icepick area and i cant seem to get it lighter or dissapear no matter what i do

I'd say it's probably just hyperpigmentation then. I've had some before that's super stubborn, but eventually it should fade.

alright do you think tca peel would help with hyperpigmentation ?

I've read that tca peels do help with hyperpigmentation, but I've seen more people reporting success with lactic acid peels for that. I had really bad hyperpigmentation on my leg, and I used amlactin lotion which I think is 15% lactic acid, and it worked really well.

my tca peel is coming in tomorrow but my face has been peeling from the salycic acid peel so should i wait for until its done and also anyway to get rid of the peeling skin faster ?

I'd wait until it's done peeling just to be safe. I'd also do a test patch first before you do the entire peel.
