Can anyone advise on whether or not taking Benadryl would help healing after TCA Cross due to reducing inflammation and swelling (which some say worsens scars). Or is it better to allow the body to go through its natural process of inflammation and histamine release to facilitate healing? Will I be at risk of slowing down or impeding through Benadryl use?

Will be attempting TCA paint on method in the coming weeks. Let me know if theres anything in particular anyone wants me to document and post!

@EasypeasyqueezyPeople take Benadryl all the time for various reasons, ...some have allergies. Taking it will not help much with the inflammation as Cross is a superficial procedure. You do want your body to heal naturally because that is part of the TCA Cross process of wound remodeling. IF the redness bugs you put some concealer over it once the scab phase has passed.

I suppose how bad the inflammation is. You would be better using a natural whitening cream aka to prevent hyperpigmetnation like pca pigment hydroquinone free gelor hydroquinone.
