Hi,

I did a 30% TCA on my shoulder recently, and it has yet to peel.

It stung, I had some redness, which has subsided, but now my skin is just wrinkled. Its been roughly 5 days. (Applied the TCA last FRiday) Could it take longer to peel?

Ive been using Vitamin A creme, after the first few days of polysporin.

Thanks for the help.

I "think" that the body skin takes longer to react than the facial skin. Have you tried taking a warm damp cloth and compressing the area? Sometimes that will help start the peeling.

Thanks for the reply. I'll do that!

I'll wait a while before my next peel. My skin is like tissue paper. Very amusing.

Good luck! I had weird looking skin on my cheek after my last 18% TCA peel and I also am waiting a while before the next one!
