My Syringoma Story Blog

In my previous post, I had applied 1 layer of TCA 40 all over my face. I started peeling about 2 days after and then continued to peel for another 5 days. It was a mild peel and it was probably because I used very little of the TCA 40 on my gauze before I applied it. I am still happy with the results. It didn't remove any of my syringomas and that wasn't my intention but it made my face have a more even tone. It's still by no means, even but it is more even and that to me shows this product does work if I am looking to make my face just look overall better. As you can tell, I have a large forehead so my forehead is always darker than the rest of my face. During the summer months, it is more obvious. I've started wearing a cap when I am outside for this reason.

Remember, TCA is an acid and to never use more than 50% proof (especially if you're doing it yourself and not a professional). I used 40% proof and that was borderline dangerous for using TCA for the first time for my whole face. I think I've seen more people use between 10% - 25%. Always wear gloves and after-care is just as important. Stay away from the sun, wear a large hat to cover the face if you are going outside, wear sunscreen and do not peel your face or use heavy soaps, etc. Use at your own risk. If you scar easily, do not use it. If you have sensitive skin, do not use it.

And again, I'm not a professional and just a do-it-yourself type of girl to solve my own skin problems.
